110 AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. [Jan. 



III. Summer Soiling vs. Pasture. 



This experiment was an exact repetition of the one described 

 in the report for 1893. 



The three steers were kept in the barn or turned into the 

 barn-yard during the summer and fail months, and fed upon 

 a variety of green crops raised upon the station grounds in 

 combination with various grains. 



Feed consumed by Each Steer during Summer Soiling. 



[As the different steers consumed practically the same amount of feed, one state- 

 ment for the three will suffice.]
