SUMMARY OF SECOND TRIAL, SEPTEMBER 21, 1911, TO NOVEM- 

 BER 10, 1911. This trial was not completed on account of a storm 

 which destroyed the feeding plant and necessitated the closing of 

 the trial at the end of 50 days. The lambs from all lots were then 

 put into one lot and fed a ration of corn, cottonseed meal, and clover 

 hay until December I, 1911, when 120 head were shipped to Chicago 

 and 20 culls sold in Lafayette for $5.50 per cwt. Of the lambs 

 shipped to Chicago, 68 head sold for $6.20 per cwt. and 52 head 

 for $7.75 or an average of $6.92 for the entire lot of 120 head. 



While it is impossible, 'because all were finished on the same 

 ration, to make a complete summary of each lot, it is evident from 

 the necessary selling price of each lot at the end of the trial that 

 there would have been a loss in the lots fed timothy hay and a small 

 profit in those fed silage.
