COMPARISON" OF ROUGHAGES FOR FATTENING STEERS. 25 
8. The outcome of Lot 4 emphasizes the value of silage for fatten- 
ing cattle and indicates that such cheap roughage is not adapted for 
the purpose. It probably could be used to better advantage for win- 
tering feeder and stocker cattle. 
9. The profit per head in Lot 1 was $16.71 ; Lot 2, $14.T3 ; Lot 3, 
$14.80, and Lot 4, $6.46. The exceptionally high margin combined 
with the low cost of gains tended toward the high profits realized in 
the various lots. 
10. Lot 4 was not so well finished and brought a lower market 
price.
