HATCH EXPERIMENT STATION. 



[Jan. 



Additional Data. 



In order to show the price returned for skim-milk and the 

 cost of feed required to produce a pound of live and dressed 

 weight, the additional data is presented for the six pigs : — 



Total milk coDBumed by six pigs, 

 Total oat feed consumed by six pigs, 

 Total corn meal consumed by six pigs, 

 Live weight actually gained. 

 Dressed weight calculated, . 



The pigs did not grow as rapidly as in the first experi- 

 ment, and consequently the returns are below those obtained 

 with the previous lot. The animals seemed inferior, and 

 unable to turn the feed into rapid growth. The above fig- 

 ures are more nearly what might be expected by the average 

 farmer.
