RESULTS OF WORK IX ADAMS PROJECTS. 

 Department of Animal Husbandry 



Nutrition Studies. — The first year of the co-operative project with the Nutri- 

 tion Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution was brought to a close in Novem- 

 ber, 1919, by sale and slaughter of the steers used in the work. 



Up to the time of slaughter these steers had been fed for six months on heavy 

 fattening rations, thus completing the specific objective, namely, a study of the 

 effect of submaintenance on consequent fattening.
