Experiments with Lots 3 and 4. 



Two experiments were performed with these pigs, but they were 

 of such a nature that one experiment did not unfit the animals for 

 the succeeding one. The animals of the two lots were from the 

 same litter, and of corresponding sex. They weighed at the 

 beginning of the first experiment an average of thirty-eight pounds 

 each. From Nov. 2d to March 1st they were fed alike on 

 skimmed milk and corn meal, and Lot 4 drank in addition an 

 amount of water equal in weight to the skimmed milk. From 

 March 2nd to May 28th the skimmed milk in the ration of Lot 3 

 was replaced by pea meal, but was continued in the ration of Lot 

 4. The growth of the two lots was practically the same through- 

 out. 



The tables immediately following give the result of these 

 methods of feeding.
