In this experiment ground wheat gave the greatest returns for the 
least amount of grain, but did not return so large a profit as whole 
soaked wheat, owing to the expense of grinding. The nndesirabiiity 
of feeding whole wheat dry seems to be indicated by these results. 
Ground wheat and corn gave considerably better returns than ground 
Wheal and rye or ground wheat and shorts. Ground corn and rye 
alone do not appear to advantage. 
These results show wheat to have a feeding value fully equal to 
that of corn, and are in line with the work that has been previously 
published on this subject. In the first Utah test, wheat showed a 
very much better and cheaper gain than corn, but when pea meal 
was added to the corn-meal ration, wheat did not have so great an 
advantage. The Nebraska results are specially favorable to wheat 
feeding. 
Feeding frosted wheat. — Nine experiments with wheat that had 
been more or less damaged by frost were conducted at the Central 
Experimental Farm of Canada. 05 The grain was fed alone, ground, 
unground, and in combination with other grains and skim milk. 
The following shows the results and conclusions from the experi- 
ments :
