The foregoing financial statement clearly shows that 

 in this test where corn was fed with timothy hay and 

 corn stover there was a marked advantage in the feeding 

 of gluten meal. Similar results would have followed the 

 use of oil meal or cottonseed meal in the ration. The 

 results are so striking that it leaves little doubt as to the 

 advisability of purchasing these concentrated feeds 

 where alfalfa, clover hay, or cow-pea hay are not avail- 

 able as a supplement to corn for cattle feeding.
