The Aveigliing of feed and the weigliing of the cattle were done almost 

 ■wholly by Mr. McDowell ; when lie could not attend to it, I attended to it in 

 person. 



I wish to express my thanks here for the careful and cautious work that both 

 Mr. White, farm foreman, and Mr. McDowell, assistant foreman, have done in 

 connection with the experiments. It has contributed very much toward the car- 

 rying them to correct and successful result.
