 in the following table: 



Feeding c(ym meal and meat scrap in comparison wiCh com meed 

 only — CkyrneU Station. 



The meat scrap caused a large consumption of feed — something 

 desired by feeders. The pigs fed meat scrap gained 70 per cent. 

 more than those fed corn meal only, but the saving in feed for a 

 given gain was only 6 per cent. Somewhat more lean meat was 

 found in the carcass of the pigs receiving the meat scrap. (339)

 covering four seasons, with pigs in pens and on pastures consisting
