Instances the gains made were satisfactory, and tin se cases in which 
a large amount of grain was required for i" 11 pounds of gain were 
generally \\\\\\ bogs <>f considerable maturity and consequently

This table does nol present an accurate comparison between barley 
and corn, as skim milk enters into the results in five instances when 
barley was fed, as against only three instances where corn was fed, 
l)iu the results command interest in showing that the value of barley 
for hog feeding compares very favorably with thai of corn. 
Barley compared with corn, in combinations. — The South Dakota 
Experiment Station and the Ontario Agricultural College have 
reported tests with barley in combination with such feeds as shorts 
and middlings.
