a mixed ration, where 2 parts cowpea meal, l pari corn meal, and 1 
part rice polish, with skim milk, gave gains a1 an outlay <>f L78 
pounds grain and 413 pounds skim milk, as compared with L93 
pounds grain and 474 pounds skim milk by the ration of rice polish 
and skim milk. 
Duggar summarized the results where rice polish and corn meal 
were compared directly, and found that an average of 373 pounds of 
tfce polish were required to produce LOO pounds gain, as compaied 
with 474 pounds of corn meal. "At this rate, 78.6 pounds of rice 
polish were equal to 100 pounds of corn meal, a saving of 21.4 per 
cenl of the grain by the substitution of polish for corn meal." 
Glut( a meal compared with com meal. — Pigs that had been fed 
without success on a potato ration at the Cornell Station were given 
a "rational ration" of corn meal and skim milk for a week and then 
they were employed in a test to compare gluten and corn meal. Skim 
milk was fed, the proportion to meal being about 3 pounds of milk to 
1 of meal. Lots I and III received gluten meal and milk, and Lots II 
and IV corn meal and milk. 
Gluten meal was charged at $11.75 per ton, corn meal at $14 per 
ton, and skim milk at 15 cents per 100 pounds. 
The following were the principal results:

The use of gluten meal in combination with skim milk in this 
experiment did not give results so satisfactory as where corn meal 
and milk were fed. Both corn meal lots made better gains and the 
average of dry matter consumed, and cost per 100 pounds gain were 
much lower than with the pigs on gluten meal and milk. 
Hominy meal compared with corn meal. — In Massachusetts the 
Hatch Station 6 compared hominy meal and corn meal. The latter is 
described as consisting of "the hulls, germs, and some of the starch 
and gluten of the corn ground together. This separation is said to be 
brought about solely by the aid of machinery. The hard flint part of 
the corn is the hominy, which is used as a human food." 
Seven Chester White grades were fed on a grain and skim-milk 
ration, 7 to 10 quarts of skim milk being fed daily with a grain allow-
