"Warington tells us in the first table that pigs are able to con- stime far more food in proportion to their live weight than either sheep or oxen. This is due to the concentrated and digesti- ble character of the food commonly supplied the fattening pig, and to the great capacity of this animal for assimilation. The proportion of stomach is greater in the ox or sheep than in the pig, being for 100 pounds live weight, for the ox, for the sheep, and .7 for the pig. On the other hand, the proportion of the iutestines is greater with the pig.
