thej oould be used as substitutes for corn meal in pig feeding. In 
this connection pice polish was fed to a number of pigs under different 
conditions. Rice polish is a by-product of the rice mills and \a <liili- 
cull to obtain in Borne sections of the country, as millers often mix it 
with Less valuable by-products and sell the mixture under the name 
of " rice meal.' 1 For this reason rice meal is said to be a variable and 
uncertain quantity and all samples do not have equal feeding value. 
In L902 rice polish was quoted by a Savannah mill ai 117.90 per ton, 
delivered at Auburn, Ala., in Less i nan carload Lots. Two \ ears before 
the same firm ha<l been paid 126 per ton Tor it delivered at Auburn. 
It is stated that some of it kept in g 1 condition for more than 
a \ ear. 
Duggar reports seven tests with this by-product. Be compared it 
with corn meal with and without the addition of skim milk, and 
in a mixed ration of cow pea meal and wheat bran; with a ration of 
one-half cowpea meal, one-fourth corn meal, and one-fourth rice bran, 
with the addition of skim milk; and in different proportions with 
other feeds without skim milk. The pigs used were generally recently 
weaned and the meal was led dry.

In every instance where data were furnished, the pigs on rice polish 
show more rapid gains than those on corn meal or mixed grain rations. 
In only two eases did rice polish tail to prove more economical, one 
of these was the second test with corn meal, where 670 pounds of feed 
were required by the pigs on both rations. The other was a test with
