AVERAGE YEARLY GAINS 
The gains during the entire season are shown better in Table 10. in 
which the averages for the different years are given. This table 
shows the initial and final weights for each year, together with the 
dates of these weighings and the gains made, both in pounds and 
per cent of the initial weight. It also shows the number of days 
between the initial and final weighings and the average daily gains. 
In comparing Table 10 with Tables 1 to 9, it will be noticed that 
the first weights, except in 1916, 1918, and 1919, are not taken as 
the initial weights in computing the season's cjains. This is because
