on dried beet pulp or molassea-beet pulp with other concentrates and 

 clover hay, as shown below, in trials which lasted 85 days: 



Dried beet pulp and molasses-beet pulp for fattening range lambs. 



The table shows that the several lots made substantially the same 

 daily and total gains, all consuming practically the same amount 

 of concentrates and roughage for 100 Ibs. of gain. This being 

 true, we may conclude that for fattening lambs dried beet pulp is 

 equal to the same amount of corn, and that molasses-beet pulp is no 

 more valuable than dried beet pulp. (311-12, 645-6) 



756. Meat meal, dried blood. Schenke 1 states that, when mixed 

 with better liked feed, sheep will readily consume a ration containing 

 from 5 to 10 per ct. of meat meal. Meat meal produced larger but 

 less economical gains than grain alone, and evidently increased the 

 wool production. 



Regnard 2 obtained excellent results when feeding dried blood to 

 lambs in place of milk, supplying about 0.5 Ib. daily for each 100 Ibs.

757. Corn silage v. roots. At the Michigan Station 3 Mumford 

 compared corn silage with roots for fattening lambs. In the first 

 trial, lasting 84 days, sugar beets and corn silage were fed, and in 

 the second, lasting 119 days, rutabagas and corn silage. The concen-
