Fodders fed. 
The description of hay and forage, es given for the heifers, 
applies equally to the following animals: 
Grain mixtures Nos. 1, 2 and 4 were the same as fed heifers, 
previously described. 
Grain mixture No. 3 was as follows: 
Corn meal, 200 pounds; wheat bran, 200 pounds; linseed meal, 
240 pounds; wheat middlings, 200 pounds; oats, crushed, 100 
pounds. 
This mixture was fed from June fifteen to August twenty, after 
which No. 4 was fed. 
The skim milk was a mixture from Station milk and that 
purchased of a neighboring milkman, and the average of analyses 
for skim milks were used in calculating results. 
Gruel. 
The gruel fed previously to July twenty-third was made by 
adding one ounce of old-process linseed meal to one pcund of 
water and bring it toa boil. After July twenty-three two ounces 
of linseed meal to one pound of water were used, otherwise 
the same. 
The two animals, Cathay and Khaledan, were in bad condition 
when received at the Station, and several months were required to 
get them well started, yet fair gain in growth was steadily main- 
tained by constant watchfulness and care in feeding. 
No discussion of results are necessary until more data is accu- 
mulated from longer continuation of the experiment.
