94 STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 
The second month a change was made in the ration fed. 
Instead of 100 pounds of ensilage to roo pounds of grain, as 
was fed the first month, the ensilage was reduced to about the 
proportion of 70 pounds of ensilage to 100 pounds of grain. 
‘The lambs were fed all they would eat of this mixture twice a 
day and what hay they would eat once a day as before. Dur- 
ing the month of January they consumed of the mixed grains 
(corn, bran, wheat, and peas, equal-parts by weight), 7,500 
pounds; ensilage estimated at 5,600 pounds; and hay estimated 
at 2,000 pounds. 
For the month of February the experiment was continued 
in the same line as in January, except that the wheat was left 
out of the ration, and corn, bran, and peas were fed in equal 
parts by weight. During February, the lambs consumed 6,960 
pounds of grain; ensilage estimated at 5,250 pounds; and hay 
estimated at 1,800 pounds. 
Table 21, which follows, contains ene results of the analyses 
of the pene stuffs used in the experiment, and table 22 
shows the weights of grain, ensilage, and hay fed per animal, 
per day, during the three periods of one month each, and the 
nutrients which the daily ration contained. ‘The fuel values of 
the rations are given in the last column.
