TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 



Each lot was then started on the ration it was to receive during the 

 experiment. The feeds constituting the rations fed were as follows: 

 Lot 1 : Cotton seed meal, ground milo, corn silage, and Sudan hay. 

 Lot 2: Peanut meal, ground milo, corn silage, and Sudan hay. 

 Lot 3 : Cold-pressed cotton seed, ground milo, corn silage, Sudan hay. 

 Lot -!: Cotton seed meal, ground milo, corn silage, and cotton seed hulls. 

 The period from December 13 to December 20 was used in getting 

 the calves accustomed to their new rations, the actual experiment be- 

 ginning on the latter date. From the date the calves arrived at College 

 Station, November 4, until the beginning of the experiment, December 

 20. a period of 40 days, the forty-eight head consumed the following 

 amounts of feeding stuffs: 



100.5 pounds cotton seed meal. 



160.5 pounds peanut meal. 



3,569 pounds cold-pressed cotton seed. 



4,080.5 pounds ground milo. 



28,426.5 pounds corn silage. 



6,067.5 pounds Sudan hay. 



234 pounds cotton seed hul-ls. 



The value of the above stated amounts of feeding stuffs at the prices 

 later quoted in the bulletin was $177.69. Therefore, the calves had cost, 

 at the beginning of the experiment, $35.90 a head. Their average 

 weight at this time was 471 pounds, and hence they had cost $7.62 

 per hundred pounds.
