When the five pigs which either lost weight during the experiment or 
gained an abnormally small amount of weight are omitted, the results 
on the other 24 pigs show the following: Nine of the 24 stored more 
than 1 pound of fat for each pound of protein consumed. Among these 
9 the 4 which stored the largest amount of fat in proportion to the 
amount of protein consumed were the pigs fed as stated in Table XIX.

These were all wide nutritive ratios. The pigs which stored the 
smallest amount of fat in proportion to the amount of protein fed were
