FINANCIAL STATEMENT. 



In the following statement, the original cost of the steers 

 (|3.90 per hundredweight in South Omaha, 30 cents per 

 hundred below top prices for feeders) including freight from 

 South Omaha to Lincoln and food consumed during the pre- 

 liminary period of feeding, makes the net cost on the opening 

 day of the experiment proper exactly four cents per pound 

 on experiment weights. The selling price is also net on final 

 weights in the experiment. The cost of labor is not included 

 since it is customary to figure the manure worth the labor.
