Solids required for one pound of gain with pigs.—Table 41 
shows, in the upper division, the gains made by pigs when fed 
milk ad libitum. For the first 4o days the pair receiving skim 
milk gained 62 pounds; the pair receiving milk poor in fat, 
54.8 pounds; and the pair receiving milk rich in fat, 42.2 
pounds. For the next ten days the gain was for each pair 22 
pounds, 20% pounds, and 3% pounds respectively. From 50 
to 60 days the results were 20 pounds gain, 21 pounds gain, 
and 6 pounds loss respectively. 
The second division of the table shows the amount of milk 
consumed by the pigs at different periods. After 4o days of 
feeding the pair receiving the milk rich in fat were affected 
with loss of appetite and diarrhea, and finally did not consume 
enough to sustain life. The pair receiving milk poor in fat 
content, as well as those receiving skim milk, maintained good 
appetites until the close of the trial. 
The third division of the table shows the pounds of solids 
required for one pound of gain. For the first 4o days of feed- 
ing the pair receiving the milk poor in fat made one pound of 
gain from 1.36 pounds of solids in the milk, against 1.78 re- 
quired for the pair receiving milk rich in per cent. of fat.
