Table 



Gains of Individual Steers by Periods. 



Table II shows the gains of the individual steers by periods. 

 From this it will be seen that during the first and fourth periods Lot 

 I, the steers in the barn, rnade greater gains than Lot II. During the 

 third and fifth period Lot II, the steers in the shed, made greater 

 gains than Lot I, while during the second period the gains made by 

 the two lots were practically the same, being 344 and 341 respective- 

 ly. During the seventy days Lot I, in the barn, gained 1722 pounds 

 while Lot II, in the shed, gained 1911 pounds. The heaviest gain re- 

 corded was made by steer No. 18 in Lot II ; the slightest by steer No. 

 25 in the same lot, although steer No. 6 in Lot I gained but one pound 

 more. It would seem that as in past years the steers in the barn made 

 more uniform gains on the whole than those outside. The most ir- 

 regular gains, however, during the entire experiment were made in 

 the barn during the last period, from February 12 to February 26.
