weighing the corn for each period, ten representative ears were chosen 

 for determination of per cent, of gain and loss on air drying of both 

 grain and cob. 



At the beginning of the experiment and at the end of each two 

 weeks thereafter the steers were weighed on three successive morn- 

 ings after being off water for about sixteen hours. The average of 

 these three weighings is taken as the correct weight at the beginning 

 or close of any period. 



Table I gives the weight of the individual steers together with to- 

 tal weight of each lot at the beginning and the close of the experi- 

 ment. It also gives the total gain for the entire time 



7 able I Weight of Individual Steers, 



From this it will be seen that at the beginning of the experiment 

 Lot II weighed 103 pounds more than Lot I. At the close of the ex- 

 periment Lot II weighed 292 pounds more than Lot I, having gained 

 189 pounds more.
