Table III. Temperature and Gams by Periods. 



Period 



Outside Temperature 



Total Gains 



Average 



344 



Table III shows the maximum, minimum and mean temperature 

 for each period of the outside air as shown by the station records. It 

 also shows the total gains of the two lots for the different periods. As 

 in former trials, there seems to be no definite relation between temper- 

 ature and gains. During the second period, from Jan. ist to Jan. 

 1 5th, when the maximum, minimum and mean temperature were 

 highest, the gains were practically the same. The steers in the shed 

 made their highest gains during the third period. This period shows 

 the lowest minimum temperature and the lowest mean of any period 



except the fourth which shows practically the same mean tempera- 

 ture. 



Table IV. Total Feed Eaten. 



Table IV shows the amount of feed eaten by the two lots during 

 the entire seventy days of the experiment. From this table it will be 

 seen that the lot in the shed ate more corn and stover than those in 

 the barn. The amount of cottonseed meal eaten by the two lots was 

 the same and the amount of hay almost the same, although slightly 

 more was eaten by the steers in the barn.
