ration produced relatively low gains in live weight, and the bodies 
of the pigs were abnormal as regards the development of the 
skeleton, muscles, and internal organs. The amount of blood for 
each 100 pounds of dressed carcass of the corn-fed pigs was greatly 
decreased below normal. The tenderloin and other muscles were 
relatively light, the proportion of internal fat and that stored within

the muscular tissue was abnormally high, and the strength of the 
bones of the corn-fed pigs was greatly diminished, resulting, in 
general, in a weakly animal that would fall an easy prey to disease 
and accidents. 
The lesson brought out by these and other experiments along 
this line is that young animals must receive a feed or a com-
