to thirty cents per hundred ought to be and can be realized for 

 skim-milk, when live hogs sell at four cents per pound. It must 

 be constantly kept in mind, however, that they must be sold by 

 the time they reach a live weight of from two hundred to two 

 hundred and thirty pounds. 



FEEDING WITH GRAIN ALONE. 



Table V gives the results of feeding with com meal and 



middlings. 



TABLE V. 



This table seems conclusive, so far as these^pigs were con- 

 cerned, and we are obliged to say that on grain alone there was 

 a loss of more than one cent for every pound of growth. 



These results show us that we cannot blindly follow the 

 teachings of feeding tables, for should we so do one of these ra- 

 tions would be as good as the other, but as a matter of fact, 

 while chemically the skim-milk ration was not quite as rich in 

 nutritive material as the grain ration, yet the former was, on an 

 average, thirty per cent, more efficient in actual results than the 

 latter.
