FEEDING EXPERIMENT WITH SHEEP. 95 
(lot B, Nos. 20-24) were fed hay from early-cut mixed grasses, 
together with corn meal and wheat bran, with a small amount of 
turnips, during the latter part of the experiment. Those having 
the narrow ration (lot C, Nos. 25-29) received the same kind of 
hay, and in addition, corn meal, wheat bran, linseed meal, and 
ground oats and peas. The group (D) was fed the same kinds 
of feed as lot C. Two rations, assumed to be normal in quantity, 
one wide and one narrow, were first prepared and taken as a 
basis, the total amounts fed being increased or decreased from 
time to time according to the appetites of the sheep. 
Sheep No. ':24 of the wide ration and No. 25 of the narrow 
ration were dropped out during the latter part of the experiment 
owing to lack of thriftiness, so that the discussion which follows 
applies to only four sheep in lot B and four in lot C. The 
amounts fed in the normal ration are shown in table 16 on 
the opposite page.
