RESULTS WITH UNCOOKED CURED, AND SMOKED MUSCLE. Since most hams are not sold fresh, but are cured and smoked and sold as smoked hams, a feeding test was carried on with this class of hams in order to ascertain the effect of curing and smoking upon the antineuritic value of the product. Pens 27 and 28 were fed rations containing 15 and 25 per cent of muscle from two mild-cured smoked hams. Each and every bird in the two pens was in fine condition at the close of the test and had gained in weight; the gain for pen 27 was per cent; that for pen 28 was per cent. By referring to Table 6, pens 23 and 24, and to Table 7, pens 27 and 28, it will be noted that the antineuritic properties of the muscle from the fresh hams are very similar to those of the smoked hams. The birds getting the fresh-ham muscle made rather larger gains in weight, which indicates a slight advantage for the fresh hams. Pens 29 and 30 were fed rations containing 15 and 25 per cent of muscle from hog tongues. The lot of muscle used represents approxi- mately 50 hogs. One bird was removed from pen 29 early m the test on account of an injury to its neck; the three other birds were in good condition at the close of the test. The pen suffered a loss of per cent in weight. The birds in pen 30 were all in fine con- dition at the close of the test and the average gain in weight was per cent. The results of this series are seen in Table 7, and the change in weights of the pigeons in pens 27 to 30, inclusive, is shown in Figures 17 and Please note that these i
