In two trials we fed milk alone, and

pounds of skim milk when fed alone will
make about pounds Of pork. Compar-
ing this with the results shown in the

combined with corn to get the best re-
suits. The average Of the Ave expert

make 100 pounds Of gain. From numer-
GUS trials we find that 1t requires shout
500 pounds Of corn for 100 pounds Of
