Sweet compared with sour whey. — At the Ontario Agricultural Col- 
lege, Day a conducted five experiments to compare the feeding values 
of sweet and sour whey. Each experiment was preceded by a pre- 
liminary period of from one to two weeks and the experiments proper 
varied in duration from twenty-nine to sixty-four days. In each one 
as a check a group of pigs was fed on meal only mixed with water. 
The group receiving whej T had it mixed with the grain, and both lots 
received the same quantity of whey, which was about 2 pounds to 
each pound of meal. All lots had as much feed as they would eat 
readily. The sour whey fed in 1897 "was kept in a tank which had 
not been cleaned since early in the summer of 1896." The meal was 
a mixture of equal parts of pease, barley, and oats. 
The following table shows the amount of grain saved bj r feeding 
whey for each experiment and for the average:
