r describing the
experiments which he made, sums up as follows:--

There is nothing therefore in the above results to recommend the
use of Thorley's condiment with inferior fattening food, to those
who feed pigs for profit. In fact, the following balance-sheet of
the experiment shows that, in fattening for twelve weeks, there
was a balance of L1 10s. 11d. in favor of the lot fed without
Thorley's food, notwithstanding that one of the pigs in that lot
did badly throughout the experiment, as above stated.

LOT 1.--WITH BARLEY-MEAL AND BRAN.

L s. d.

4 pigs bought in at 41s. 6d. each 8 6 0
1,860-3/4 lbs. barley, at 37s. 6d. per
quarter of 416 lbs., including grinding 8 7 8-3/4
1,024-3/4 lbs. bran at 5s. 6d. per cwt. 2 10 3-3/4
------------
19 4 0-1/2
88 stone 5 lbs. of pork sold at 4s. 4d.
per stone, sinking the offal 19 4 0-1/2

LOT 2.--WITH BARLEY-MEAL, BRAN, AND THORLEY'S FOOD.

L s. d.

4 pigs bought in at 41s. 6d. each 8 6 0
1,862-3/4 lbs. barley, at 37s. 6d. per
quarter of 416 lbs., including grinding 8 7 10-1/4
1,020-3/4 lbs. bran at 5s. 6d. per cwt. 2 10 1-1/2
105 lbs. Thorley's food at 40s. per cwt. 1 17 6
------------
21 1 5-3/4
90 stone 1 lb. pork sold at 4s. 4d.
per stone, sinking the offal 19 10 6-1/2
------------
1 10 11-1/4

The results of these experiments with pigs, in which Thorley's condiment
was used with inferior fattening food, may be summed up as follows:--

1. The addition of Thorley's condimental food increased the
amount of food consumed by a given weight of animal within
a given time.

2. When Thorley's condiment was given it required more food
to produce a given amount of increase in live-weight.

3. In fattening for twelve weeks there was a difference of
L1 10s. 11d. on the lot of 4 pigs in favor of barley-meal
and bran alone, over barley-meal, bran, and Thorley's food
in addition.
