Six other cattle were fed on oak-brush leaves during the summer of 
1916, the feeding being conducted, as in 1915, by throwing freshly cut 
oak brush into the corrals, where the animals picked off the leaves.

Fig. 5.— Weight curve of cattle No. 702. fed with 3 pounds of alfalfa hay per day from June 7 to July 19, 1916. 
Nos. 715 and 732 were fed in this way from June 21 to June 27. 
Although nothing but oak was furnished them, both of these animals 
ate very little. They lost weight during the feeding, but showed no 
other ill effects. No. 732 did not make a normal gain during the rest 
of the summer, but there was no reason to think that this lack of 
gain was a result of the oak feeding.
