 w^eight was 215.75 pounds at the beginning of the experiment. 



II. Division consisted of lambs Nos. 4-5-6 ; its aggregate live 

 weight at the beginning of the experiment was 212.50 pounds. 



2. COST OF LAMBS. 



The entire lot was bought at six cents per pound of live weight 

 and the sum paid for 450.5 pounds of the original weight amounted 

 to $27.03. 



The wool secured before the beginning of the feeding trial, which 

 amounted to 22.25 pounds, was returned at 22 cts. per pound. The 

 sum realized by that transaclion was $4.89. Allowing the deduction 

 of $4.89 on the first cost of tlie lambs, which was $27.03, it will be 

 found that their actual cost at the beginning of the experiment was 

 but $22.14, or 5.17 cts. per pound of live weight. The live weight 

 without the removed wool was 428.25 pounds.
