_ China the least. The cost of food to restore the weight lost was 
_ for the Poland Chinasow 12.41 cents per pound, for the Berkshire 
5.88 cents, and for the Duroc 4.96 cents per pound. Six pigs Ci 
from each lot were killed and dressed at the end of the trialand 
_ the average loss in weight by dressing was for the Berkshire, 22.9 
per cent; for the Poland China, 21.8 per cent,andforthe Poland 
China-Duroc cross, 22.3 per cent. Ina feeding experiment made 
the year before with Poland China, Duroc and Berkshire pigs at 
a time when little skim milk was available and only grain was 
fed, the Poland Chinas made a much more profitable growth than 
__ the others. 
The results obtained for different periods in feeding these three 
lots of pigs during the past year are given in the following tables. 
The results are calculated to the average per day for each 100 
pounds live weight fed. While not enough pigs were fed of the 
_ Berkshire-Cheshire cross to make the: results directly comparable 
_ with those obtained from the others, the results are also given, as 
_ they may be of value in connection with those from other feeding 
trials.
