II will be observed that the hogs follow

gained ! II pounds more than the lot that
followed the steers receiving the soaked
corn. As they were fed the same amount
OF extra corn this difference was ascribcd
to the method Of feeding the corn to the
two lots Of steers. These figures show
that more of the corn that was soaked was
digcstcd. In case of the dry corn It
seemed that one-slxth of that fed passed
through the animal whole.
