of feeding Lot I becomes $294.41, while the cost of feeding Lot II 

 becomes $280.91, making a difference in cost of $13.50 to offset a 

 difference of 221 in gain. The relative economy of the two methods 

 would therefore depend upon the cost of the different feeds. Within 

 the ordinary range of prices of the different feeds used there would 

 be very little difference in the cost of a pound of gain.
