In computing the cost, corn was valued at 40 cents per 
bushel, shorts at $20.00 per ton, skim-milk at 20 cents per 
hundred pounds, tankage at $40.00 per ton, and ground bone 
at $30.00 per ton. 
Results.—It will be noted that while the hogs were upon 
alfalfa pasture the amount of corn required for 100 pounds 
of gain, with the lot fed corn meal alone, compares very 
favorably with the other groups; but when the hogs were put 
into dry lots the feed for 100 pounds gain in the corn group 
is much higher than in the tankage group. The same is true 
of the corn and shorts group as compared with the corn and 
tankage group, so that here we find the same result as was 
found in the Iowa experiments. 
If the same values for feeds were used in the Nebraska 
experiments as were used in the Iowa experiments, the sup- 
plementary feeds would make a better showing. 
It must also be remembered that in Nebraska the hogs 
were kept upon alfalfa pasture until they were well grown, and, 
in consequence, were in the best possible shape to stand ex- 
clusive corn feeding in the dry lots.
