The third and last period began when the pigs weighed 

 125 pounds and ended when 180 pounds was reached, at 

 which time they were slaughtered. The feed consisted of 

 skim-milk, and of a mixture of one and one-half parts corn 

 meal and one part Bufialo gluten feed, fed in sufficient quan- 

 tities to satisfy the appetite of the animals.
