the Prairie Farmer short experience in

Berkshire and Poland China. According
to his tabulated figures, We get the
following results: A Polsnd- China SOW
and boar, weighing respectively 49,
pounds and 81 pounds, ate 200 pounds OF
earn corn the first two weeks and gained
34l pounds together. The second tvs
weeks ate 1913 pounds corn on the ear
and gained % pounds. The third two
weeks ate l01 pounds shelled corn, gain
Is pounds. The fourth two weeks ste
81 pounds shellcd corn, gain 10 pounds.
Total gain for eight weeks So pounds,
or II pounds per week. The Berkshire
SOW and barrow weighed respectively IS
and So ct the end of eight weeks, being
fed two weeks on unshelled and two
weeks on shelled corn the fetal gain
was So pounds, or the same as the
Poland China. Two pairs Of cross bred
pigs fed in the same way did not do so
well, one gaining 10 pounds per week and
the other but 6! pounds per week per
pair. The pigs had all they would eat,
and water, with HANDFUL of clover each
day. Estimating the unshelled corn
at so pounds to the bushel of Sc pounds
shelIed, the average gain per bushel was
II pounds for the lot.
