ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION 30d 



A study of the results shows that: — 



Lot I, fed shelled corn, wheat middlings, and skim milk, 

 g-AiMcd 1,205 pounds in weight, and consumed 4,337 pounds 

 of grain and 2,009 pounds of skim milk. This lot required, 

 therefore, 360 pounds of grain and 160 pounds of skim milk 

 for each 100 pounds of gain made during the trial. 



Lot n, fed corn meal, wheat middlings, and skim milk, 

 gained 1,298 pounds in weight, and consumed 4,745 pounds 

 of grain and 2,009 pounds of skim milk. This lot required 

 366 pounds of grain and 154 pounds of skim milk for each 100 

 pounds of gain made during the trial. 



The lot fed corn consumed 408 pounds more grain, and 

 gained 93 pounds more in weight than the lot fed shelled corn. 

 It required 6 pounds more feed than the lot getting shelled corn, 

 to make 100 pounds of gain. 



Second Feeding Trial of the Year. 



Ten pigs, varying considerably in age, weight, and condi- 

 tion, were divided as nearly equal as possible into two lots of 

 five each. Those in Lot III varied from 70 to 272 pounds, 

 the average weight at the beginning of the trial being 184 

 pounds. Lot IV' varied from 89 to 268 pounds, the average 

 weight being 175 pounds. Lot III contained one Duroc- Jersey, 

 one Berkshire, and three cross-bred Poland-China-Berkshires, 

 of which four were barrows and one a sow. Lot IV contained 

 two Berkshires, one Duroc-Jersey, and two cross-bred Poland- 

 China-Berkshires, all barrows. 



Lot III was fed a grain mixture of two-thirds shelled corn 

 and one-third heavy wheat middlings. 



Lot IV was fed two-thirds corn meal and one-third heavy 

 wheat middlings. 



The methods of feeding, care, and management were the 

 same as in the first trial. The results are recorded in the fol- 

 lowing tables —
