'I'hey we iMu'd be tween 81 pounds and 100. '1'. e t- o, whose vv fights together made 1 ^ > pnumls, were fed on oni,‘ gallon of shelled Indiuu corn, weighing seven pound.s, to each, for every 24 hou’ s. and ;.s much water as thev wanted.

Som('live or six dili'erent days belween the Ist'^of Decrmlier and the4lh uf January, the lime the experi ment was gt/uig on, they did not ijuiie eat their whoh‘ allowance. To the two slu.'ats, whose weights to- gelher made 173 poutuls, seven pounds of good liidiati corn meal, by measure ten pints, w ere made itiKj good miish, or has- j ty pudding, and divided between them j for every 24 (lours. That is, these two 1 had allowed Ihem exactly half ihe weight of meal, which, the others had of raw I corn. The seven pounds of meal were I daily mixed w ith scalding wa:er, and then 1 \\(dl boiled: the whole jjioiess of eook- ! ing was done oti an average in 11 honrs. ^ 'i'hey were all fi-d t\vi( e a day, and .a llic 'same lime.
