HATCH EXPERIMENT STATION. 



[Jan. 



The above tables show that each lot of pigs consumed 

 identical amounts of skim-milk, and very nearly equal 

 amounts of grain. The hominy meal lot ate about 12 

 pounds more of dry grain per pig, than did the corn meal 

 lot.

Corn Meal Lot. 



One notes a very slight difference in favor of the hominy 

 fed lot, this being caused perhaps by the slightly increased 

 amount of actual dry matter found in the hominy meal. 



By referring to the table, it will be noticed that each 

 pig received 223.25 pounds of perfectly dry corn meal and 

 235.23 pounds of perfectly dry hominy meal.
