shrunk 27 pounds; on barley alone 37 pounds; and on 
bailey and beets 66 pounds. The average of all is 28 
pounds per head. This is considerably less than the 
steers shrunk that were fed during 1894-95, the difference 
being probably due to the much larger amount of grain 
red the past season. 
It will be noticed that the steers fed beets shrunk 
more than those receiving nothing but grain ; and that 
tie steers eating barley shrunk more than those getting 
oorn and wheat.
