The findings OF the British American

only oficial statement that could be Sc

nouncement, given out at the SePte De-

"The award OF the Bering Sea Claims
Commission has been fled In the Depart

the British Government to the Commission

Company, doing business under the State

Examiner William II. Hardt. to the effect
that the Chestnut Street National Bank

Experiments made'ht tho Missouri Agri-
cultural college in 1884. 1885 and 1885
strongly indicated that the character Of the
food Influenced the character OF the pork
produced, and that such ntrog nous foods
as shorts mddlings and dried blood, as
compared with cornmeal fed alone, tended
TO increase the proportion OF lean pork
to fat The matter was taken up by Pro-
fessor Henry Of Wisconsin, In 1886. and
by several others later. The experiments
all corroborato the Missouri work. Pigs
fed shorts, bran. skim milk or dried blood
produced a larger proportion OF lean pork
Than those fed corn alone.
In discussing this four years expert
ment Professor Henry says:
I'VE feel warranted In maintaining that
the kind Of food supplied to young growing
pigs has n very marked effect upon the
animal carcass; the foods rich In protein
tend TO build UP strong, muscular frames
and large individuals, with ample blood
and fully developed internal organs; that
excessive corn feeding OF pigs. even after
they have obtained good start tsnds to
dwarf the animal In size and prematurely
fattsn IL; that, owing TO the larger amount
OF ash contained and perhaps for other
causes, pigs receiving the usual nitro
genous foods have stronger homes than
these fed on corn; and that the bones of
pigs fed on corn coatain the least mineral
matter. ' After the piss have reach d
the age OF Z or months there is far less
necessity OF heterogeneous foods. and the
cheapest gains can be made with corn.

mony of butchers and pork packers, that
