The fourth trial was commenced Sept. 1, 1890, and continued 14 weeks, until Dec. 8th. For the first nine weeks the four pigs in lot B, with a full feed of corn and pasture, ate lb.

The four in lot A, with a full feed of corn without other food, ate lb. Of corn and gained 213 lh., which was one pound gain for lb. Corn.
