BIGGLE SWINE BOOK. 



In the German tables the carbohydrates and fats 

 are grouped together as 4.05 pounds. The sum of 3.94 

 pounds of carbohydrates and .445 pound of fat, ex- 

 pressed in the same way (with fat multiplied by two 

 and one-quarter and added to carbohydrates), would 

 be 4.94 pounds. 



I do not mean to advocate a reduction in the 

 amount of food as the pigs get older, when I suggest 

 that the skim-milk should be cut down, but only to 

 point out that some less nitrogenous stuff might be used 

 in its place ; some cheap green fodder or corn, for in- 

 stance. Every fraction of a cent saved in the daily cost 

 of food is of great consequence. 



NIMBLE SIXPENCES. 



Skim-milk is too valuable to be wasted. 



Quickly grown hogs are by all odds the most profitable. 



Methods and feeds must vary with locality, but the principles 

 of nutrition are the same in Maine and in California. 



If I were that Eastern creameryman I should just go right 

 on making money as heretofore. But I should put a little bunch 

 of shotes in a sep'arate enclosure, and test the German tables.
