at one time as high as ten quarts per day, in addition to his grain 

 feed. The grain consisted of corn meal, and four ounces of gluten 

 feed as a substitute for one quart of milk, when the supply of the 

 latter was limited. In case of lot two, the number of feeding periods 

 was the same, namely, three. During the first period the pigs were 

 fed six ounces of corn meal to each quart of milk, and this continued 

 unlil the pigs had reached a weight of 80 pounds, and were consuming 

 four and one-halC quarts of milk and 27 ounces of corn meal per day. 

 In periods II mid III, tlie supply of milk was kept at four quarts 

 daily, plus two quarts of water to give the necessary drink, and as 

 much corn meal was added as the animals would consume. 



The following tables will, we believe, present the results concisely 

 and clearly :
