The bullocks recommenced feeding well, but after a week 
was over the silage animals seemed to tire somewhat of their 
lood. They, however, did better after this, and so continued 
till the first part of the experiment concluded on March 30th. 
No. 2 of the root-fed bullocks also became very loose and lost 
weight ; but when his supply of water was cut off, he went up 
rapidly in weight again. 
The bullocks feeding on roots drank on an average 18 lbs. of 
water each daily ; those on silage, 55 lbs., or over three times 
as much. Weighings were taken on March 2nd, 16th, 30th. 
The successive weights during the whole period were — 
deceiving Boots and Hay-cJiaff.
