evening and shredded corn stover in the morning immediately after 

 they had eaten the grain. The grain fed consisted of broken ear corn 

 and cottonseed meal for Lot I and broken ear corn and Ajax flakes 

 for Lot III. The object was to feed approximately equal quantities 

 of protein. The corn was placed in the manger first and the Ajax 

 flakes and cottonseed meal poured over it. From December i8th to 

 January 1 5th the two lots were fed exactly alike. The feed consist- 

 ing of broken ear corn, shredded corn stover and mixed hay to De- 

 cember 3ist and broken ear corn, cottonseed meal, mixed hay and corn 

 stover from December 31 st to January I5th. The steers of each lot 

 during this time received one pound of cottonseed meal each per day. 



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

 weeks thereafter the steers were weighed individually on three con- 

 secutive days and the average of these three weighings assumed to be 

 the correct weight.
