TABLE 4 GIVING SUMMARY OF RESULTS DURING TWO YEARS WORK WITH BEEF 



CATTLE. 



Summary of Two Years Work. 



The results of the two years experimental work in feeding steers are 

 given in table 4. The total gains made by each lot were on the whole 

 very satisfactory, yet it is hoped that by using a better grade of steers 

 in the future, considerable improvement can be made in this respect. 

 The average daily gains made by the steers fed cottonseed hulls as 

 roughage were larger each year than the gains made by the other two 

 lots. While it seems evident that cottonseed hulls will produce very sat- 

 isfactory gains, the quality of the carcass was not as desirable, nor was 

 the dressing percentage as high as .that for the two lots receiving silage 

 and stover.
