Table XY gives the amount of hay, water, roots and grain con- 

 sumed by the flock fed roots, and table XYI gives the amount of 

 water and food consumed by the flock fed ensilage. 



Table XY. 



Table XYI. 



The record of the food consumed extends from January 2d to 

 April 19th. It will be noted that the flock given the ensilage con- 

 sumed somewhat more of this food than was consumed of beets by 

 the beet-fed flock. A little more grain was consumed by the sheep 

 fed ensilage than by those fed beets. This difference, however, was 

 hardly great enough to denote a greater appetite caused by the 

 ensilage. 



* Two parts bran, one part corn meal, and one part cotton seed meal.
