beginning. lie WIS compelled To make an n,idi'iona
feed nf corn. The experiment consumed LIDO pound:
Of cmn. Proceeding upon the tact previously deter
mined, that ii required 53l pounds Of coin u max
one pound of increase In pork, thu nine PIGS put upon
tho ryprrimcnt showed. ut the end. n gain Of ~
pounds, 3>s pounds Of which were to be attributed tc

From this experiment the Professor holds that ar
