The amount of milk used was controlled by our daily 

 supply and by the number of pigs under observation. Dur- 

 ing the first experiment creamery buttermilk was fed during 

 the two first feeding periods ; during the remaining time 

 home-made skim-milk alone was used. As a general rule 

 during the entire experiment the following system was 

 adopted for compounding the daily diet in different feeding 

 periods : — 



Period I. For each one quart skim-milk to two ounces of corn 

 meal. 



Period II. For each, one quart skim-milk to four ounces of corn 

 meal. 



Period HI. For each, one quart skim-milk to six ounces of corn 

 meal.
