The figures for food consumed can be arranged in another form, 
by which the relation between the total food consumed, and the ap- 
parent live weight gain can be studied :—

If we value the milk at 1 cent a lb., the oil meal at 2 cents, the 
oats at 14 cents, and the bran at 1 cent, we have for cost per lb. of 
apparent gain or increase during these two periods in which milk 
formed all or a portion of the ration :— 
Cost per. lb. of increase. 
Under milk alone. Under milk and grain. 
“White Face” 9.3 cents 8.2 cents 
ferRed 7 10.3 cents «10.8 cents 
Mean 9.8 cents. 9.5 cents. 
A small sum, in the latter case, should be added to cover the cost 
of the clover, and this would bring the cost about the same under 
the two feedings. 
From Sept. 7 to 21, green clover and grain were fed in equal quan- 
tities to both animals, the quantity being guaged by the appetite of 
the smaller feeder. On Sept. 19 and 20, the grain was refused by 
‘‘Red,” and with this exception the feed of the two animals was 
alike.
