 per pound gain. The average daily cost for all calves receiving the 

 Blatchford's Calf Meal was 9.58 cents with 8.10 as the minimum

 varied less than a dollar per head from the average cost for the 

 lot. The most expensive feeding period for the calves in Lot III 

 was during the second week, averaging slightly over 13 cents per 

 day. After the second week, the cost gradually grew less until the 

 eighth week. From the ninth to the sixteenth weeks, the average 

 daily cost was rather uniform, averaging, approximately, the same

 reduced as low as 8.2 cents but was increased after the twenty-third 

 week to approximately, ten cents per day.
