Such an arrangement removed to some extent the variation due to 

 the characteristics of any one breed, and served to make the production 

 of the groups about the same, so that the comparison of results was 

 easier.

* Compiled mainly from Bulletin No. 11, U. S. Dept. of Agr. 



Throughout, each year the hay was mixed clover and timothy; and 

 the percentage composition for hay in the above table is the average 

 for timothy and red clover as given in the tables from which the above 

 was compiled. The prices are the average for the two years of the 

 experiment as paid by the Station for its feeding-stuffs and hay. In 

 raising mangels and silage, $4.50 per ton for mangels and $2.25 per ton 

 for silage, stored ready for feeding, was assumed as the average cost. 

 The prices are for this locality and of course are only of relative impor- 

 tance. In this question, the value of the experiment as a guide in the 

 choice of feeds depends entirely on the relative prices of the feeding- 

 stuffs, and it is not intended to give any exact prices but to asstime 

 good average prices in order to support the principles involved.
