These tables are given to show the average weight and dressing p 



ercentage of the 



hogs selected for each test. Although the totals indicate that the ho^ 



js bought as firm 



dressed a higher percentage than those that proved to be oily and sof1 



t, the individual 



lots which contained all oily or soft hogs did not show this difference 



. Other causes, 



such as finish and conformation, influence the dressing percentage, s 



that it can not 



be stated that these tests prove that firm hogs dress a higher percentag 



e than oily ones. 



, In the East St. Louis test dressing percentages were practically the s 



ime.
