FATTENING CATTLE IN ALABAMA.

The gains made by each of these groups of steers are shown by the 
lines A— 1, B-l, 0-1, respectively. The distance a line terminates 
above or below the horizontal line O determines the relative size of 
the daily gain or loss per steer, as the case may be, with respect to 
SUA/rtOcf— 6/J&/& &Jc/A//t/£> A7/PO JOW&AP 
the other lots. The distance the line terminates to the right of the 
vertical represents the length of the feeding period. The general 
direction each of these lines takes, therefore, indicates the rapidity of 
the gains made by the steers of the respective groups.
