118 AMERICAN DAIRYING. 



Wisconsin station work. — The Wisconsin 

 Report of 1885, pages 34, 35, and 36, gives the 

 results of some experiments showing the cost 

 of producing pork with corn-meal at $16 per 

 ton to have been 4.3 cents per pound; with 

 wheat shorts at $14 per ton it cost 3.7 cents, 

 and with a mixture of one-half each corn-meal 

 and wheat shorts it cost 3.3 cents. With corn 

 at 35 cents per bushel and wheat shorts at 70 

 cents per 100 lbs., the ration being two parts 

 corn and one part shorts, the cost per pound of 

 increase was 4.1 cents in one instance and with 

 another lot with the same feed the cost was 4.4 

 cents. The same lots immediately following 

 these experiments were fed on corn at 35 cents 

 per bushel and made pork at a cost of 4.8 cents 

 and 4.6 cents. 



In the Wisconsin Report of 1888, page 109, it 

 is recorded that the work with whole corn at 

 35 cents per bushel made the gain cost 4.9 cents 

 per pound. On the same page the work shows 

 wheat shorts at 70 cents per 100 lbs. to have 

 made pork at a cost of 3.6 cents. Where two 

 parts corn and one part shorts were fed, corn 

 being 35 cents per bushel and shorts 70 cents 

 per 100 lbs., the cost of gain was 3.85 cents per 

 pound. When two parts shorts and one part 

 corn was fed the cost was 3.25 cents per pound. 



On page 111 of the same report the average 

 pf three experiments with whole corn is given
