SUMMARY OF EXPERIMENTS III, IV, V. 



Total Cost of Feed Consumed during the Experiment. 

 1773.9 lbs. Corn Meal, $21.28 



1479. gals. Skim-Milk, 20.62 



703.9 lbs. Wheat Bran, 7.92 



723.9 lbs. Gluten Meal, 8.14 



$03.90 



The above statement shows that the cost of the feed cojisnmed for 

 the production of 1080.4 pounds of dressed pork, during our three 

 late experiments, amounted to $63.90 ; the feed has cost us there- 

 fore 5.92 cents per pound of dressed pork sold in that connection. 



In comparing this result with that obtained in our second experi- 

 ment, where nothing but sJcim-miW and corn meal had been fed (see 

 for details our third annual report page 35 to 40 B), it will be noticed
