Table I. 



Weight of steers at beginning and end of feeding period 1907- 



1908. 



It is seen from this table that the average of the two lots at the 

 beginning of the experiment was practically the same, being 1065 

 and 1063 pounds respectively. At the close of the experiment there

Table II shows the individual gains by periods. From this 

 table it will be seen that the gains by Lot I were more uniform 

 throughout the test than those made by Lot II. During the first
