New York AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 301 
The feed of these lambs was hay alike to both pens, and pen 6 
received from January 4 to February 7 four ounces per day of a 
mixture in equal bulks of wheat bran and cottonseed meal. Pen 
7 received four ounces per day of whole corn for the same period. 
From February 7 t6 May 15 the grain feed was increased to eight 
ounces per day and the hay feed increased from 3 pounds, to 3.5 
pounds per day for each pen. The actual amount of food con- 
sumed for the 132 days by each pen is shown by the accom- 
panying table:

The hay fed was of mixed grasses, timothy, red top and red 
clover, and was in good condition. 
It will be seen from the above that these lambs were at no time 
fed heavily and only intended to make growth. At the close of this 
trial lamb No. 1 from each pen was killed and the lean and fat 
meat separated and weighed, the results of which are given below. 
Lamb No. 2 of each pen is to be kept at pasture during the sum- 
mer and put with others for a continuation. of the feeding trial 
another winter.
