Feeding Beet Pulp to Lambs. 
5 
Kansas City. Pen I (121 sheep) then weighed 10,490 pounds, an 
average of 86.7 pounds per head. Pen II (P22 sheep) weighed 10,- 
373 pounds, an average of 85 pounds per head. One sheep from 
pen II, while being driven to the cars, broke its leg and was not 
shipped. Four sheep were killed in pen I, two of which were butch¬ 
ered. Pen I thus gained 1.7 pounds per head more than pen II, 
comparing the weights from January 3d to the close of the feeding. 
The weather of December 30th to January 1st was severe, 
averaging -6° on the 31st, but the gain made by the lambs was fairly 
good.
