THE STOCKFEEDER'S COMPANION 



A pig in class 3 (60 to 120 Ibs. live weight) may 

 receive a ration of nearly f gall, skim milk, 5 Ibs. 

 barley meal, and 3 Ibs. boiled potatoes. This will work 

 out as follows : 



The proportion of each food in the ration is very 

 approximately correct, but we have six food standards 

 in the ration when there should be beween four and 

 five ; hence by reducing each food in the ration by 

 one-sixth, we should have five food standards in the 

 daily ration. The correct mixture would then be 5 Ibs. 

 skim milk (J gall.) ; barley meal, 3f Ibs. ; potatoes, 

 if Ibs.
