PART III c f 



12. Cattle fed shelled corn, cottonseed meal, and clover hay ate 

 the same quantity of corn and very nearly the same quantity of hay 

 as cattle fed a ration of shelled corn, cottonseed meal and alfalfa hay. 



13. Cattle fed a ration of shelled corn, cottonseed meal, clover 

 hay and corn silage consumed the same quantity of grain but more 

 hay and less silage than those fed a ration in which alfalfa hay was 

 used instead of clover. 



14. Cattle fed clover hay as the only roughage made more rapid 

 gains than those fed alfalfa hay. 



15. Cattle fed clover hay and corn silage made less rapid gains 

 than those fed alfalfa hay and corn silage. 



1 6. Gains were more economical with clover hay than with 

 alfalfa hay as roughage. 



17. Gains were less economical with clover hay and corn silage 

 than with alfalfa hay and corn silage as roughage. 



18. Cattle fed a ration of shelled corn, cottonseed meal and 

 clover hay returned a loss, including pork, of $10.26 per steer against 

 a loss of $13.07 when alfalfa hay replaced clover hay. 



19. A ration of shelled corn, cottonseed meal, corn silage and 

 clover hay returned a loss, including pork, of $7.46 per head as com- 

 pared with a loss of $1.07 per head whetl clover hay was replaced by 

 alfalfa hay. 



PART IV 



20. The substitution of a small quantity of feeding molasses 

 (cane) for an equal quantity of corn in a ration of shelled corn, 

 cottonseed meal, clover hay, and corn silage had no appreciable effect 

 on the consumption of concentrates but greatly increased the con- 

 sumption of silage. 



21. The feeding of a proprietary molasses feed instead of cot- 

 tonseed meal had very little effect on the appetites of the cattle. 



22. The addition of molasses to the ration increased the rate of 

 gain ; the use of proprietary molasses feed instead of cottonseed meal 

 resulted in a smaller rate of gain. 



23. Cattle fed a ration of shelled corn, cottonseed meal, corn 

 silage and clover hay returned a loss of $7.46 per steer, including 

 pork ; cattle fed a similar ration with a part of the corn replaced by 

 feeding molasses (cane) returned a loss of $6.19 per head; cattle 

 fed a ration of shelled corn, proprietary molasses feed, corn silage, 

 and clover hay returned a loss, including pork, of $12.91 per steer.
