cent. of its live weight, and the rich milk fed pig, 70 per cent.

same. ‘The sixth rib of each pig was dissected out and an- 
alyzed with the following results: ‘There was 21.25 per cent. 
of fat in the skim milk fed pig, which is about the amount 
found by Lawes and Gilbert in the ‘‘Store Pig.’’ ‘The whole 
milk fed pig contained 35.68 per cent. of fat. The skim milk 
fed pig had 1.78 per cent. more lean meat and 11.93 per cent.
