Incorporating dynamical Kogut-Susskind fermions into a Monte Carlo simulation of QCD, we have analyzed the masses of low-lying hadrons, chiral-symmetry breaking, and the interquark potential. We used a 24\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${12}^{3}$ lattice for two couplings $g$, where $\ensuremath{\beta}=\frac{6}{{g}^{2}}=5.20 \mathrm{and} 5.35$. The quark masses were $ma=0.075, 0.050, \mathrm{and} 0.025$ ($a$ being the lattice spacing). We find that the pattern of hadron masses of the $\ensuremath{\pi}$, $\ensuremath{\rho}$, and $N$ is qualitatively as seen experimentally. The pion mass squared is proportional to the quark mass and thus behaves as expected from chiral symmetry. Values for the quark condensate extrapolated to $ma=0$, the renormalization-group-invariant quark mass, and the pion decay constant are in reasonable agreement with values derived from experiment or from current algebra. If we fix the lattice spacing from the $\ensuremath{\rho}$ mass, we see evidence for the screening effect of light-quark-antiquark pairs in the potential between two massive quarks. At $\ensuremath{\beta}=5.20$ and $ma=0.050$ we find good agreement between the results from our pseudofermion method and those from a hybrid simulation.
