Yield of Dressed Weight. 



5. Financial Results. 



Conclusions. 



1. The average daily increase in live weight as compared 

 with that noticed in the two preceding experiments is not as 

 satisfactory ; laml)s 4 and 5 fall not less than fifty per cent, 

 behind, when compared with the gain obtained in case of 

 lambs 1, 3 and 6. 



2. The feeding efiect of corn ensilage, when fed with the 

 same kind and amount of grain feed, compares well with 

 that of slobe mangold roots. 



3. The market cost of the daily fodder rations above 

 stated is in the majority of cases lower than that of those 

 used in our preceding experiments with lambs ; it varies from 

 1.65 cents to 1.93 cents in different feeding periods.
