It is of interest to note that the cornmeal-bran lot con- 

 sumed the greatest amount of food for each 100 pounds gain, 

 followed in order by the unfermented-bran and fermented- 

 bran lots. The cornmeal lot produced not only the greatest 

 gain, but at the least consumption of food. 



COST OF FEED. 



The same prices were paid for the feed as in the previous 

 experiment. The table following gives the financial sum- 

 mary for the two periods.
