 trials with barley and corn. In the first trial the grains were 

 fed alone, and in the second they were fed with skim-milk. 



The first of the two trials shows that it required 471

 out 



Oats and peas sown in early spring may be cut when ripe, and the two threshed 

 together. The grinding for hog feed may be either together or separately, 



pounds of barley to produce 100 pounds of gain, and 435 

 pounds of corn to produce 100 pounds of gain. 



In the second trial it required 330 pounds of barley and 

 3'98 pounds of 'skim-milk for 100 pounds gain, and 306 pounds 

 of corn and 371 pounds of milk for 100 pounds gain. In each 

 trial, therefore, it required more barley than corn for 100 

 pounds gain.
