Pork Producticm 



in three experiments with eighteen- pigs averaging 159 

 pounds, obtained slightly but uniformly better results 

 from the mixture of equal parts ground wheat and ground 

 corn than from ground wheat alone, both rations in each 

 experiment being unsupplemented. High-grade wheat 

 was used at both stations and the rations fed in the form 

 of a thick slop. The averaged data of all seven experi- 

 ments at both stations give results which favor very 

 slightly the wheat-alone ration. 



Dry whole wheat versus soaked whole wheat. 



The results of three experiments, involving thirty- 

 eight pigs, give information regarding the advantage 

 of soaking whole wheat. Two were conducted at the 

 Nebraska ^ Experiment Station and one at the Indiana 

 station.^ In one of the Nebraska trials, the pigs were 

 given in addition to the wheat access to alfalfa hay, of 

 which they ate very little. The essential results are 

 averaged and shown in Table CXXIX.
