These figures show thai the Yorkshires averaged highest in average 
daily gains, with th<' Berkshires and Dnroc Jerseys tied for second 
place, and the Tamworth i>i,u r s next. In feed (digestible dry matter) 
required for LOO pounds gain, the Dnroc Jerseys were first in Least 
requirement, with the Poland Chinas next, the Forkshires third, and 
the Tamworths Last. In cost of LOO pounds gain the Forkshiree were 
first, the Poland chinas second, the Dnroc Jerseys third, and the 
Tamworths fifth. This evidence seems to disprove the charges some- 
times made against the bacon breeds, namely, that these pigs make 
Bmaller and more expensive gains than those of other breeds.
