Whole Common Barley.. - 
The whole common barley has given a quarter more 
growth per day than the whole corn and has produced 
this growth with a quarter less grain and a little less of 
the skimmilk. The differences in favor of the whole 
common barley are just about the same as those in favor 
of the whole bald barley.

Since barley has given better results than corn, and 
ground grain than unground, it is natural to expect what 
these tests show, that ground corn and ground common 
barley have given considerably better returns in growth 
and the cost of that growth than the whole corn.
