BARLEY 
9. Ground common barley and ground corn fed 
together have produced better results than the same 
grains fed separately. 
In the Feeding Tests With Steers 
1. Ground corn made considerably more growth than 
ground common barley. This growth was also much 
firmer and shrank less in shipping. The difference be- 
tween the two amounted to the entire profits of the 
feeding. 
2. Ground wheat and beets surpassed ground barley 
and beets in about the same proportion that the corn 
excelled the barley. 
3. Beets added to a ration of barley produced more 
growth, but only enough to return three dollars per ton 
for the beets fed. 
In the Feeding Tests With Lambs, 1895-6. 
1. Ground common barley and ground corn have 
given nearly equal results, with the slight advantage 
in favor of corn. 
2. The results of ground wheat and ground common 
barley have been almost identical. 
3. Barley and corn fed separately gave a little 
better results than the two fed together. 
In the Feeding Tests With Lambs, 1896-7. 
1. Giving grain from the start produced more and 
cheaper growth, than feeding six weeks on hay alone be- 
fore giving grain. 
2. Whole grain yielded more rapid and cheaper 
growth than ground grain. 
3. Corn, whether ground or whole, gives more 
growth than common barley, the difference in favor of 
corn being greater than it was the year before. 
4. Bald barley made slightly more growth than corn 
when given in moderate feeds; but when the amount was 
raised above a pound per day per head, the lambs were 
unable to digest it and went off feed. 
5. Corn and bald barley mixed give no better re- 
sults than corn alone.
