TABLE: G. Feed for 100 Pounds Gain, Ranibouillets. 



TABLE H. Feed for 100 Pounds Gain, Mutton Grades. 



The finished lambs were marketed through local channels, 

 and, while not fancy, were in good condition. 



CONCLUSIONS. 



Corn and the bearded or Scotch barley, when fed with 

 alfalfa, were about equal in value for mutton production. Bar- 

 ley in this test proved to be a shade the better. Twenty-seven 

 per cent, less alfalfa and twenty-eight per cent, less grain was 

 required where barley replaced emmer in a ration. 



Grade lambs with mutton sires made greater gains, con- 

 ditions being similar, than did Rambouillet lambs, though a 

 record of food consumption for each class was not kept. 



The Western stockman has a feed in barley that is of 

 great value for meat production, and may be used to advan- 

 tage as a corn substitute.
