EXPERIMENT WITH CHICKS. 
In two lots of this series of experiments the chicks were two 
weeks old when the experiment began, in all the others one week 
old. Lots I, III, V, VII and IX were fed the ration containing 
animal meal and Lots II, IV, VI, VIII and X were fed the con- 
trasted ration. At the start Lot I was similar in every way to 
Lot: II. The same was true of Lots IJJ and IV, V and VI, VII, 
and VIII, and IX and X. After the first four lots had been fed 
for eight weeks the cockerels were removed and a number of 
pullets from Lots I and III were fed for ten weeks in comparison 
with an equal number from Lots II and IV. Later, chicks from 
Lots V and VII after removal of many of the cockerels were fed 
together in comparison with others from Lots VI and VIII. 
The chicks in Lots I and II were Leghorns, those in III and 
IV mostly Leghorns with a few Wyandottes. Half of those in 
Lots V, VI, VII and VIII were Leghorns and half Wyandottes 
and crosses. In Lots IX and X somewhat more than half the 
chicks were Wyandottes and crosses and the remainder Leghorns. 
The records of feeding and statements of the results follow in 
tabulated form, the averages in most cases being for 14-day 
periods.
