parts com meal, by weight The results of the trial are shown 

 in the following table: 



Feeding com meal and meat scrap in comparison wiCh com meoZ 

 only — CoimeU Station. 



The meat scrap caused a large consumption of feed — something 

 desired by feeders. The pigs fed meat scrap gained 70 per cent, 

 more than those fed corn meal only, but the saving in feed for a 

 given gain was only 6 per cent. Somewhat more lean meat was 

 found in the carcass of the pigs receiving the meat scrap. (339)

 covering four seasons, with pigs in pens and on pastures consisting 

 of alfalfa and grass, principally the former. (307) Some pigs 

 were fed all the grain they would consume, while others received
