made greater gains than Lot I. 

 Lot I made the greater gain. 



While during the other two periods 



Table III. Total Peed Eaten. 



Table III shows the total feed eaten by the two lots. From this 

 it will be seen that Lot I ate more stover than Lot III, while Lot III 

 ate more corn in spite of the fact that they were getting the larger 

 amount of nitrogenous concentrate. The stover fed to the two lots 

 was practically the same, but Lot I, the steers on cottonseed meal, ate 

 closer than Lot III, that is they did not leave so much refuse. Pos- 

 sibly the smaller amount of stover eaten by Lot III may be accounted 

 for by the more bulky nature of the grain. 



Table IV. Cost of Feed. 



'lotul cost of feed for 70 days i 15t.67 I 165.92 



Total cosl of feed per 100 Ibs. of gain I 10.00 ; 10.!)* 



Table IV shows cost, different feeds eaten by the two lots, the 

 total cost for the seventy days and the cost per hundred pounds of 

 gain. From this table will be seen that during the seventy days the 

 cost of feed for Lot I, on cottonseed meal was $154. 67, for Lot III, on 

 Ajax flakes, $165.92. From Tables I and II it is seen that Lot I 

 gained 1419 pounds, while Lot II gained 1517 pounds. The greater 

 gain made by Lot II makes the cost of feed per hundred pounds of 

 gain approximately the same for two lots. The difference of .04 of a 

 pound in favor of cottonseed meal is too small to warrant any marked 

 conclusions.
