The result does not give what might be done under better circumstances, 

 when more grain would be fed. The Short Horns did not have enougli feed 

 to give tliem a chance to make best results, while the Devons had about all the 

 feed they would consume. The only change that could be made in their favor 

 in the feed Avould have been to jrive more concentrated food.
