TABLE: XII. Showing Average Daily Gain per Steer by Months, 

 Winters 1909-10 and 1910-11 



It will be noted that the rate of gain was practically identical 

 in the two lots in 1909-10; that while the monthly gains varied 

 somewhat, the average for the entire period was the same. This 

 was not the case, however, in 1910-11. The sum of the first two 

 months' gains was the same for both lots, but from that time, Lot 

 2 consumed more grain and the gain was correspondingly larger, 

 so that the gain of this lot for the 150 days averaged slightly larger 

 than that of Lot 6. 



COST OF GAINS. Table XIII shows the amount of feed con- 

 sumed per pound gain and the cost per hundred pounds gain with 

 feed at different prices.
