ment skim-milk was fed as a supplement, and in the 

 Nebraska experiment access to alfalfa hay was given. 

 The results of these are averaged and reported in Table 

 CXXVII. 



TABLE CXXVII. WHOLE WHEAT (dry) VERSUS SHELLED 

 CORN (dry) (Av. 2 Exps.) 



In both these experiments, better results were obtained 

 with shelled corn than with whole wheat. The fact 

 that wheat is hard to masticate, that it tends to become 

 gummy and form a pasty mass when chewed, is probably 

 responsible for its poor showing in these tests. 



TABLE CXXVIII. GROUND WHEAT VERSUS GROUND CORN 

 (Av. 6 Exps.) 



To determine the relative merits of ground wheat 

 and ground corn, fed as a thick slop, the averaged results 

 of six experiments conducted at the Missouri, 1 Ohio, 2 

 1 Weaver, Bull. 136. 2 Eastwood, Bull. 268.
