124 AMERICAN DAIRYING. 



at 40 cents per bushel and allowing 4 cents per 

 pound for the increase and crediting the skim- 

 milk with the whole profit, gives us 50 cents 

 per 100 lbs. for it. The hogs were fed two 

 pounds of grain food to each pound of skim- 

 milk. The Wisconsin experimenters did not 

 figure the trial in this way. I have taken the 

 responsibility of putting their work in this 

 shape. They may well feel proud of their work 

 in this line. 



On page 96 of the Wisconsin report of 1888 is 

 a statement of the results of feeding different 

 amounts of sweet skim-milk and corn-meal to 

 pigs. In this work there were three lots of 

 pigs of three each. Lot A was fed 350 lbs. of 

 sweet skim-milk to 100 lbs. of corn-meali Lot 

 B was fed 100 lbs. of sweet skim-milk to 110 

 lbs. of corn-meal. Lot C was fed 100 lbs. of 

 sweet skim-milk to 300 lbs. of corn- meal. Fig- 

 uring the corn-meal to be worth 80 cents per 

 100 lbs. and the skim-milk 25 cents per 100 lbs., 

 the cost of the increase was as follows: 



Lot A, fed 350 lbs. sweet skim-milk to 100 lbs. 



corn-meal, cost 3i cts. per lb. 



Lot B, fed 100 lbs. sweet skim-milk to 110 lbs. 



corn-meal^cost 3 cts. per lb. 



Lot C, fed 100 lbs. sweet skim-milk to 300 lbs. 



corn-meal, cost 3 cts. per lb. 



Prof. Henry says; "This trial shows that to 

 produce pork rapidly a large proportion of milk 

 to corn-meal may be fed, but that such feeding
