EXPERIMENTS IN FEEDING STEERS. 



YEARLING STEERS COMPARED WITH TWO-YEAR OLDS. 



This experiment was similar to that of last year's test, and the result is very much 

 the same. 



The twelve animals used for this experiment were Shorthorn grades of fair 

 quality, purchased from a farmer near Oak river, Manitoba. Six of them were about 

 18 months old when feeding started, and the others about 30 months old. 



They were purchased early in November, 1904, and cost, delivered at the barn, 

 $3.25 per hundred pounds live weight, and sold in February, 1905, for $4 per hundred 

 pounds.
