Station and Eastwood l at the Ohio Station indicate that 

 as the proportion of oats in the ration is increased the 

 efficiency of the ration is reduced. The detailed results 

 of these experiments are shown in Table CXXXVI. 



TABLE CXXXVI. THE EFFECT OF FEEDING DIFFERENT 

 PROPORTIONS OF OATS WITH CORN 



In every instance, as the proportion of oats was in- 

 creased, the feed consumption and the rate of gain de- 

 creased. In the first Wisconsin experiment, when the oats 

 were unground, 100 pounds of corn-meal proved equal to 

 151 pounds of whole oats. When the oats were ground, 

 100 pounds of corn were equivalent to 121 pounds of oats. 

 The results of the Ohio experiment showed 100 pounds of 

 corn equal to 110 pounds of oats in producing a given
