Table I — Record of Growth and Grain. 



It will be noticed that the greatest diiference in the record of 

 growth of these two lots is the greater gain of Lot II. While the 

 greatest gain of each lot was made during the second month of the 

 experiment, the wheat-fed lot gained nearly as much during tlie 

 third month as it did during the second month, but the corn-fed lot 

 showed a marked falling off during this time. The difference of 

 growth of these two lots is most marked in the difference of gain ; 

 the time when the greatest growth was made was nearly the same 

 for the two lots. 



During the time of feeding (from October 10, 1894, to February 

 11, 1895,) each lot consumed 8,110 pounds of milk, or about 10 

 pounds per head per day for the whole time. Lot I consumed 3,473 

 pounds of ground wlieat and Lot II 2,826 pounds of corn meal and 

 735 pounds of gluten feed. 



The grain food of these two lots was fed with the milk ; the meal 

 and ground wheat was stirred in the milk and fed as a slop. The 

 grain was given in as large quantities as would be readily consumed, 

 and varied somewhat from day to day, no record being kept of the 

 amount consumed daily. Water was kept before each lot nearly all 

 of the time, no record being kept of the amount drank. 



The following table gives the live weight, dressed weight and the 

 weight of various organs :
