HATCH EXPERIMENT STATION. 



[Jan. 



The above figures show a slight difference in favor of the 

 corn meal, rather less dry matter in corn meal being required 

 to make a pound of growth than in cerealine feed. 



Experiment III. — Corn Meal v. Cerealine Feed. 

 Oct. 25 to Jan. 10, 1898 (78 Days). — The six pigs 

 employed in this experiment were a cross between the 

 Poland-China and the Chester White. They were received 

 early in September, when five weeks old, and allowed the 

 run of a large pen out of doors until October 20, when they 

 were placed in separate pens in the feeding barn, and divided 

 as equally as possible into two lots. They were in a very 

 vigorous condition. In this experiment the cerealine feed 

 heated towards the close of the experiment. It was shovelled 

 over and dried at once when this condition was observed, 

 and the experiment continued. The pigs ate it with seem- 



ing relish at all times.
