An instructive pig (ceiling oxporimont was recently coimuclcil in Germany. Tho objects ot llio oxporimont was to do torinino (1) whether feeding with barley was deleterious when given in largo qantitics, and (2) to comparo tho feeding properties of barley and maize, both given willi skim milk. Eight pigs about seven weeks old, wcro selected for tlio experiment, and they were fed as follows: —During tho earlier portion ot tlio ex periment the lirst pair wcro given whole barley; tlio second crushed barley; tlio third crushed maize, and the fourth crushed maize with wlicy. Numbers ono two and three were also given equal quantities of potatoes; and tho weight of whey given to tho fourth pair was about tiirco limes tlio weight of potatoes given to tho third pair, equal amounts of maize being given, Tlio samo quantity of skim milk was given throughout to all. At the end of niuo weeks several varia tions wcro made in the quantity of food given, and by about tlio end of four months it had been established that enrolled barley had produced better re sults than the whole grain; also, that up to this point tho crushed barley had pro duced hotter results than crushed maize. The general result of tlio experiment led to tlio conclusion that giving barley in whole, rough grain is harmful, and that it is not advisable to feed pigs under four months too freely on maizo, After Hint age, and when rapid fattening is de sired, tlio maizo proved itself a better food than barley.
