Table IV. shows that the ten lambs of Lots I. and II. 
fed pulp and alfalfa for five weeks gained 93 pounds. In 
order to get the lambs to eat the pulp 16 pounds of grain 
was mixed with it for the two lots during the first week, and 
during this time while receiving the grain they made a 
total gain of 38 pounds, leaving 55 pounds gain due to the 
pulp and alfalfa fed the other four weeks. 
Lots III. and IV. consisted of 10 lambs fed on sugar 
beets and alfalfa, and they gained 108 pounds during the 
first five weeks. They were fed the same amount of grain 
during the first week as Lots I. and II. The gains made by 
the 10 lambs'Ted ^with beets during the first week amount¬ 
ed to 45 pounds, leaving 63 pounds of gain due to sugar 
beets and alfalfa in the remaining four weeks, or eight 
pounds more gain for the beets than for the pulp.
