widely different results were produced
by the way the pigs had been fed dur-

pounds of corn per tray and making

would be to double the feed, or at least
to Increase it, But at one point in the
experiment the pigs were eating eight
pounds of feed per day and l%%'o pounds
of skimmed milk. They were fed the
