and corn—chiefly oats. This quantity was given daily for three 
days, when it was increased to 1 lb. In three days more it 
was again increased, the quantity now being l^lb.; at which 
rate it was continued down to July 29th, an occasional 
attempt being made to induce the animal to take a larger 
amount, but without success. Indeed, throughout the ex¬ 
periment, the animal showed very little relish for the cake, 
but would eat other food most readily. 
On July 29th a second pig of the same age was placed 
with this one, and 3 lbs. of cake supplied to the two animals. 
It is necessary here to observe that this pig had been fed 
with another one, from July 21st to the 29th, on linseed 
cake, in addition to its ordinary food. 
From July 29th to August 7th inclusive, the quantity of 
Hardon’s cake was kept at 3 lbs. daily. It was now raised 
to 4 lbs. On the second day afterwards, the animals refused 
to take their food, excepting in small quantities, and did not 
consume more than 2 lbs. of the cake daily for the next four 
days; but otherwise their health did not seem to be affected. 
On August 13th they again partook of 3 lbs., and, within a 
day or two, of 4 lbs.; more than this, however, they could 
not be induced to eat. With a daily supply varying from 
2 lbs. to 4 lbs., the experiment was continued down to 
September 30th, when it ceased. 
As in the case of the heifer fed with Hardon’s cake, these 
pigs did not much improve in condition, nor grow so well as 
might have been expected. 
V .—Feeding Pigs with Linseed Calce, 
The cake used in this experiment was the same as that 
supplied to the Heifer B. 
At the commencement of the experiment on July 21st, two 
pigs, three months old, were supplied with 2 lbs. of linseed 
cake, in addition to their other food. It was readily par¬ 
taken of. 
On July 25th the quantity was increased to 4 lbs., and 
continued for three days, when their appetite palled, and 
they would not take more than about half the quantity 
named. 
On July 29th one of the animals was removed and placed 
with the pig which was being fed with Hardon’s cake.* 
Here it remained until the end of the experiment. The re-
