BULLETIN NO. 59. 



abled the sheep that survived to make better gains than they would 

 have otherwise have done. 



There is yet another point to be considered in the feeding of 

 this class of sheep. Although they made as rapid gains and as 

 economic gains, in fact a little better on both points than any of 

 the other sheep, yet they were far from being ready for the market 

 when the other sheep were shipped, and to have sold them at this 

 time would have necessitated selling at a considerable sacrifice, be- 

 cause of the very poor condition at this time. Such sheep must be 

 kept on feed for some time longer than sheep not so affected.

*The cost of lots 1, 2, 5, and 6 is figured at three cents per lb., but the 

 sheep in lots 3 and 4 are figured at $1.00 each. 



**The sheep in lots 1, 2, 5, and 6 were sold for 4c per lb. live weight. After 

 being shorn the sheep in lots 3 and 4 sold for 3 V 2 c per lb. To this was 

 added the value of the wool at 22c per lb.
