_ The lot fed corn meal, middlings, and fish meal during the finish- 
ing period did not consume as much feed as the lot fed corn meal 
and fish meal or the lot fed corn meal and tankage. The lot fed 9 
parts of corn meal and 1 part of fish meal made a better showing 
than either of the other lots in the rate of gain and pounds of feed 
fed per 100 pounds gain. 
2. FISH MEAL AS A SUPPLEMENT TO DRIED POTATO. 
The second experiment was conducted primarily to determine the 
value of dried pressed potato in a ration for fattening hogs when 
supplemented by feeds rich in protein. The results show con- 
clusively that fish meal is an outstanding protein supplement to feed 
along with potatoes.
