SUMMARY. In giving the summary of a feeding trial, financial 

 factors present variable quantities. Such items as these are, there- 

 fore, presented under conditions existing during the progress of the 

 trial. Prices of feed are given on page 863. No charge is made for 

 the straw used in bedding nor for the labor of feeding ; neither is any 

 credit given for the manure produced by the cattle, it being consid- 

 ered that this by-product will pay for the labor of feeding and the 

 straw used for bedding. 



There were ten hogs in each lot throughout the progress of the' 

 trial. Enough corn was fed these hogs to make them gain satisfac- 

 torily. Five hogs in both Lots 2 and 4 received a small quantity of 

 shorts and tankage in addition to the corn and droppings. Corn fed 

 the hogs is valued at 64.7 cents per bushel, shorts at $25.00 per ton, 

 and tankage at $50.00 per ton, and their cost is deducted from the 

 value of the pork actually produced before the pork produced from 

 the droppings is accredited to the receipts from the cattle.
