156 RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS IN SWINE FEEDING 
Shorts were fed in two proportions,—naimely, one of shorts 
tu two of corm meal, and one of shorts fo one of corm meal. 
The experiment lasted 112 days. 
Leading Points.—There are many interesting details of 
this experiment which cannot be given here, and only the 
leading points will be referred to. 
1. Meat meal and tankage proved practically equal as 
supplements to corn in point of producing gains, as will be 
seen from the following statement : 
Ration. Gain per hog. 
Corn and meat meal on pasture............-..20---5 164.9 Ibs. 
Corn and tankage on pasture..........-....22---055 162.9 Ibs. 
Cern and meat meal in dry lot.................--4. 128.8 lbs. 
Corn and tankage in dry lot.................... ... 128.8 Ths. 
2. The number of bushels of corn replaced ly one ton of 
supplementary feed was as follows: 
Ration 
Corn 2, shorts 1... ..esaae. One ton shorts replaced 46.6 bu. corn 
Corn 1, shorts 1.......... One ton shorts replaced 45.3 bu. corn 
Corn 5, meat meal 1...One ton meat meal replaced 57.9 bu. corn 
Corn 5, tankage 1........ One ton tankage replaced 64.4 bu. corn 
Fron this stand-point, tankage proved most effective. 
3. When the hogs were upon pasture, shorts compared 
favorably with meat meal. The average total concentrates re- 
quired for 100 pounds gain in the case of hogs fed corn and 
shorts on pasture was 403.9 pounds; in the case of the hogs 
fed meat meal and corn it was 409.6 pounds; for the hogs 
fed tankage and corn, it was 398.4 pounds. 
4. In the dry lots the highly nitrogenous feeds, meat meal 
and tankage, showed to best advantage as compared with shorts, 
the average total feed requirements for 100 pounds gain being
