FAT CONTENT 
The figures for the percentages of fat are plotted in figure 2 in a manner 
similar to that used in figure 1. As in the case of the moisture percent¬ 
ages, the pigs below 100 pounds show extreme variation. Between 100 
pounds and 250 pounds the variations show no distinct tendency to 
increase or decrease. Above 250 pounds the tendency to increase in fat 
content is pronounced. 
COMPARISON OF THE PERCENTAGE OF MOISTURE AND FAT 
The pigs which have a high moisture content have a low fat content. 
A study of the figures in Table III and the graphs in figures 1 and 2 will 
show that in all pigs whose weight is below 100 pounds the percentage 
of moisture is higher than the percentage of fat. In all pigs whose
