B. — LOWEK HALF (Bullock-feeding). 
As previously stated, the same crop had been, for several 
years past, grown over the lower halves of all four rotations, in 
order to get the land level. In 1905 wheat was the crop, and 
was followed in 1906 by swedes, which were fed off, on all the 
plots, with sheep. On Rotation II. the swedes were fed off 
with decorticated cotton cake, with maize meal, and with 
clover-chaff only, without cake or corn, according to the new 
plan of experiment which really began in 1907 with this 
Rotation (II.). On the other three rotations the swedes were 
fed off without cake or corn, and the several crops were taken 
in 1907 as follows : — 
Lower half. Rotation I., green crop (mustard) ; Rotation 
II., swedes ; Rotation III., barley ; Rotation IV., wheat. 
Rotation I. 1907, Green Grop {Mustard). 
This crop followed swedes fed off. The rotation, having 
had lime before, had no more applied now, though the upper 
half of the rotation area received 2 tons per acre. Mustard was 
sown as on the upper half (see page 252), and the crop, when 
weighed green, gave the results set out in Table VII.

Rotation II. 1907, Swedes. 
This followed, as elsewhere on this half of the rotation area, 
swedes fed off, but without cake or corn. They were finished 
by April 5, 1907, and the plots then ploughed. Meanwhile the 
farmyard manure for the swedes had been made during the 
winter, in the feeding boxes, by eight bullocks, consuming 
known weights of decorticated cotton cake, maize meal, roots, 
&c., and having litter in known quantity supplied to them. 
To two bullocks decorticated cotton cake was given, along with 
roots, chaff, &c. (for plot 5), to two others maize meal (for plot 
6), while the other four had only roots and chaff (for plots 7 
and 8). The principle adopted in the feeding was to keep the 
amounts of litter, roots, chaff, &c., as nearly alike as possible, 
so that there might be about the same bulk of manure to apply 
to the land in each case, but to have the first lot of manure
