And in Bulletin No. 97, u The Production of Baby Beef," 

 speltz was used as one of the grain rations with the follow- 

 results: "9. The lot fattened on speltz made an average daily 

 gain of 1.69 pounds, while the lot fattened on corn made an 

 average daily gain of 1.84 pounds. 



"10. During the grass period the lot fed on speltz gained 

 112 pounds more than did the lot fed on corn. It required 

 only 5.16 pounds of speltz for a pound of gain, as compared 

 with 7.03 pounds of corn to produce a pound of gain during 

 the grass period. 



"n. The lot fed on speltz did not consume as much hay 

 per pound of gain as did other lots, indicating that the husk 

 of speltz is a good substitute for hay. 



U i2. Speltz produces a hard fat, about the same as oats; 

 and as good a quality of meat as corn, as may be seen by cut 

 of rib and loin on page 73 of this Bulletin. 



"13. With the exception of the speltz lot, the spayed 

 heifers brought the same price as the steers. In this case a 

 reduction of 50 cents per hundred was made on account of 

 the spayed heifer being smaller than the steers in the lot 

 which brought $6.00 per hundred." 



The lot of calves fattened on speltz sold for 40 cents a 

 hundred less on the Chicago market than did the lot fattened 

 on corn, and dressed 2 per cent less than did the corn lot.
