accustoming the animals to moderate rations of this feeding stuff, pigs, even 
of four months old, can be successfully fattened on maize. It would appear 
also that rather better results were attained with the uncooked maize than with 
this cereal in a scalded state. As regards the whey, the results were more 
uncertain, and the point requires further elucidation. The experiment with 
brewers’ grains was also inconclusive, as the weight of the two animals of the 
fourth pair differed considerably from each other. ‘The fact, however, that the 
average dead weight of this pair upon slaughter was noticeably lower 
(proportionately to the live weight) than that of the first and second 
pairs, would seem to indicate that the brewers’ grains were inferior to the 
maize and skim-milk,.
