14 BULLETIN 75 . 
Briefly stated up to this time, (May 10), Lot I., on pulp, 
gained in flesh 75 pounds, Lot III., on beets, gained 86 
pounds, or eleven pounds more for the beet ration than for 
the pulp ration. Lot II., fed pulp and grain, gained 82 
pounds, or seven pounds more than those on pulp without 
grain, and four pounds less than Lot III. on beets and al¬ 
falfa. Lot IV., on beets and grain, gained 103 pounds for 
this ten weeks’ period, or 28 pounds more than Lot I. on 
pulp; 27 pounds more than those on beets and alfalfa, and 
21 pounds more than those on pulp and grain. 
For the ten weeks’ period Lot I. ate 1277 pounds of 
pulp and 640 pounds of hay worth $1.82. Lot III. ate 1079 
pounds of beets and 577 pounds of hay worth $3.31. The 
beet lot gained 11 pounds more than the pulp lot, worth 66 
cents. Then $1.82 worth of pulp and hay was equal to 
$2.65 worth of beets and hay when fed without grain. The 
hay being the same, the pulp would be worth $1.46 per ton 
compared with beets at $4.00 per ton when fed with hay 
alone. There was actually more hay eaten with the pulp 
than with the beets so the difference would not be quite so 
great. Making the same comparison between the lots 
which were fed grain with pulp and with beets, Lot II. ate 
in the ten weeks 765 pounds of pulp, 720 pounds of hay and 
179 pounds of grain, while Lot IV. ate 784 pounds of beets, 
566 pounds of alfalfa and 192 pounds of grain. The food 
eaten by Lot II. was worth $3.62 and that eaten by Lot IV. 
was worth $4.62. Lot IV. gained 21 pounds more than Lot 
II. which was worth $1.26. Then $3.62 worth of pulp, al¬ 
falfa and grain was equal to $3.36 worth of beets, alfalfa 
and grain. The beets would be worth a little more than
