Averaging the results of the trials we find that — 



481 pounds of grain produced 100 pounds gain. 



303 pounds of grain with 1,398 pounds of whey produced 100 pounds gaii^ 



This shows that 1,398 pounds of whey saved 178 pounds of 

 grain. On this basis, 785 pounds of whey equals 100 pounds of 

 grain.
