In each period when ensilage was fed as a part of the ration, in 
comparison with corn fodder, we find that a larger amount was 
eaten of dry matter as ensilage, and there was a marked increase 
in weight, while with the corn fodder the gain was small in the 
first period with Belle, and in the second period there was a loss . 
of weight by May. When the two heifers were each offered the 
same amount of like food, May ate the less quantity, but made 
the greater gain. 
For the whole period of 105 days, Belle gained in weight 89 
pounds and May 86; or .85 pounds per day for Belle and 
.82 pounds for May.
