The cottonseed meal used in the test was contracted for early and 
hence was obtained somewhat more cheaply than the same meal could 
have been purchased at a later date. It cost, however, about 
$5 per ton more than was paid for meal at the same station the pre- 
vious year. 
FINANCIAL STATEMENT. 
The steers used in this experiment were delivered on the farm at 
a cost of 54 cents per pound. This figure was used in making up the 
financial statements for each lot. The prices of feeds have already 
been given.
