PART III 



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

 clover hay ate the same quantity of grain but considerably larger 

 quantities of hay than cattle fed alfalfa hay instead of clover hay. 



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

 hay, and corn silage ate slightly more grain and hay but less silage 

 than cattle fed a similar ration with alfalfa hay instead of clover hay. 



13. Cattle fed shelled corn, cottonseed meal, and clover hay 

 gained practically the same as those fed a similar ration with alfalfa 

 hay replacing clover hay. 



14. Cattle fed clover hay and corn silage as roughage gained 

 less rapidly than those fed alfalfa hay and corn silage as roughage. 



15. A ration of shelled corn, cottonseed meal, and clover hay 

 produced gains on cattle with approximately the same expenditure 

 of feed and at the same cost as a ration of shelled corn, cottonseed 

 meal, and alfalfa hay. 



1 6. A ration containing clover hay and corn silage as roughage 

 failed to make as economical gains on full-fed cattle as a ration 

 containing alfalfa hay and corn silage as roughage. 



17. The finish on the cattle was practically the same whether 

 clover hay or alfalfa hay was fed. 



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

 clover hay returned a profit including pork of $9.55 per steer as com- 

 pared with $10.59 per steer when alfalfa hay replaced clover hay. 



19. A ration of shelled corn, cottonseed meal, clover hay, and 

 corn silage returned a profit on cattle of $13.61 per head including 

 pork as compared with a profit of $17.61 per steer when alfalfa 

 hay replaced the clover 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 increased the appetites 

 of the cattle. The increase in feed consumption was principally 

 of corn silage. 



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

 tonseed meal induced a slightly larger feed consumption on the part 

 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 profit including pork of $13.61 per 

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

 feeding molasses (cane) returned a profit of $11.52 per steer; cattle 

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

 and clover hay returned a profit, including pork of $9.24 per steer.
