was less in Lot 2 than in Lot 7. The valuation placed on the lambs 

 was higher in Lot 7 than in Lot 2 thus making a higher profit Where 

 no molasses was fed. There does not seem to be any logical reason, 

 however, why the lambs in Lot 2, which made more rapid gains 

 than those in Lot 7 should not have finished as well as the latter. 

 Had the valuation of the lambs been the same there would have 

 been only three cents per lamb difference in the profit in favor of 

 not feeding molasses whereas under the actual valuations there was 

 a difference of 45 cents in the profit per lamb.
