In this Table we have the particulars of the progress of each 

 pig, and it is therefore deserving of some few remarks ; though, 

 the effects of the different foods must be estimated rather by the 

 gross result of the pen of 3 pigs than by the progress of any 

 single animal. Casting the eye over the figures showing the 

 increase in weight of different animals in the same pen, with 

 one and the same description of food, it is at once seen, that all 

 have not progressed alike under these supposed similar circum- 

 stances. Some of the apparent discrepancies were easily ac- 

 counted for by some incidental circumstance in the character or 

 health of the animal ; and in such cases the strictness of the 

 result of the entire pen is, of course, in some degree interfered 

 with. It is therefore necessary not to overlook these particulars 

 in judging of the effects of any particular food. 



In the majority of cases, however, we believe that the differ-
