In all cases whole grain was fed. The lambs were fed 
twice daily, except for alfalfa which was. self fed. Starting 
with one-fourth pound per head per day, thirty-eight days 
were taken to get the lambs in Lot 1 up to a pound of grain. 
Molasses was fed by pouring it along the trough, and 
spreading the grain on it. 
Starting with one-tenth pound of molasses per head, forty 
days were taken to get the lambs up to one-fourth pound. 
The wet pulp was fed on the ground through panels. 
FEEDS USED 
Shelled Corn: 
The shelled corn used was a No. 3 mixed. 
Barley: 
This grain was secured from local dealers and was No 3 
(warehouse grade). It weighed 44 pounds per bushel, was 
somewhat off in color and contained considerable foreign mat- 
ter consisting mostly of other grains. 
Oats: 
The oats used in the test were Nebraska grown weighed 
32.5 pounds per bushel. They were graded No. 4, but would 
have graded higher except that they contained impurities rep- 
resented by other grains. Their weight was brought up by 
these impurities. 
Dried-Molasses-Beet-Pulp : 
This feed is made by mixing and drying wet beet pulp 
and beet molasses so that 25 per cent of the dried substance is 
molasses. It was secured from the sugar company at a net 
price of $18.40 per ton which is the regular net market price. 
Beet Molasses: 
The molasses was hauled from the factory in a metal 
tank. Wooden tanks have generally proved unsatisfactory 
because hot molasses does not expand wood as water does, 
and will leak out where water will not. The present price 
of the beet molasses is $15.00 per ton. 
Wet Beet Pulp: 
Green pulp was fed during the first half of the test while 
during the last half the pulp was fairly well ripened.
