could not well be ascribed to the presence of the pumpkins or ground 
seeds, for pig 633, which received no pumpkin whatsoever and was in 
better condition, followed the example of pig 630. For some reason 
unexplained, except possibly by the rainy weather during the last week 
of period II, none of the lots made progress es expected. At the end 
of period II the sick pigs, 630 and 633, were discarded. To balance 
up the lots, pig 640 of lot III was also expelled from the experiment, 
because of slow development. The remaining 12 animals were then di¬ 
vided into two lots. Lot I, retaining the 4 of the original animals, re¬ 
ceived pigs 641 and 643 from lot III. Lot II received pigs 626 and 
628 from lot III, as an addition to its remaining 4.
