even then, there iB bat q slight margin
Of 90 on the whole lot In its favor, or

Look well to their cost before you pur-
chase.
II. In this experiment, the corn meal
gave better returns than ear corn. In
our flrst feeding experiment, reported
In Bulletin No. 81, the ear corn GO We
better returns than corn meal, The
question whether 1t pays to grind is,
therefore, not settled.
IL. The steers on ear corn VOlded In
manure upwards Of 10 per cent. Of their
grain undigested, while those on corn
meal volded but 616 per cent. The
per cent. Of grain found 10 the drop
pings when whole corn 10 fed agrees
with the results Of q previous expert
ment to the same effect.
lS. The cost Of the gain on ear corn
was, In this experiment, half cent
per pound higher than the cost on
corn meal. It Is probable, however,
that when hogs follow the steers, this
difference will be more than balanced
by the larger per cent. of hog food fur
nlshed when ear corn Is fed.
IA. In spite Of the fact that 1t was a
favorable winter for outdoor feeding,
the outdoor steers gained less and ate
more than indoor steers, though fed
the same. This confirms our former
experiment, In which It was found that
the two lots gained alike but the out.
door steers ate q good deal more.
Is. In the present experiment, the
cost per pound Of gain on ear corn was
800 cents for the indoor lot, and 4.S5
cents for the outdoor lot. While the
showing is thus In favor Of barn feed
Ing, the feeder should, nevertheless,
count the cost Of providing adequate
barn room, and Of the extra labor
stabling involves, before he abandOnS
the open yard with the conventional

MENTS.
Statement Of Results ObtaiRed by the EX'
pertinent Station &t the state Agri-
cultural College.

befImeneB was carried out during GnS
winter Of 1995.'96. The purpose OF
this experiment was to make further
test of the relative merits Of the bal
Rnced ration, ground corn, ear corn,
and the feeding In open, as compared
with barn feeding; that Is to say, it fol-
lowed the same general plan adopted
in our first steer experiment, that Of
ls9l-'92, In which these same questions
were tested. It was thought desirable
to duplicate that experiment, in order
to ascertain how the results would COM
pare with another lot of cattle under
the incidental variations due to differ
encea In season.
The following is q summary Of re-
suits:
l. The results Of the present expert
ment in the main confirm the results
obtained in q similar experiment, and
published In Bulletin No, "a.
2. The "balanced ration" produced
much the best gains, and at q less con-
sumption Of food per pound Of gain
than the corn ration, whether fed as
corn meal or as ear corn. The lot
made one pound Of gain on 7.52pounds
grain fed, and 239 pounds fodder.
while the lot fed corn meal required
ell pounds grain and 200 pounds fOd-
der to make pound Of gain.
8. But the lot fed q balanced ration
consumed "a greater total weight Of
food than the lot fed corn meal, Dur
ing the 147 days they were fed, each
steer In the lot ate an average Of 2O.8
pounds grain feed and 6,6 pounds fod-
der daily, on which he made an aver
age gain Of 2.76 pounds daily. The
steers fed on corn meal ate Is pounds
meal and Alb pounds fodder daily per
head, on which they gained 1877 pounds
per head.
A, The lot fed a balanced ration
gained 20 of q pound daily per head
more than the lot on corn meal, for
which gain they consumed only 2S
pounds of grain and Eat pounds of
fodder daily more than the lot fed corn
meal; or at the rate Of S.5 pounds Of
grain and 81 pounds Of fodder per
pound Of gain, while we have seen that
It required 7.52 pounds Of grain and
2.S9 pounds Of fodder to produce
pound Of gain. These facts prove that
the better gain Of this lot was due
more to the quality Of the food than to
the fact that they had better sppetiteS.
S. The mixed grain ration stimulates
the appetite more than the corn ration
and induces the steer to eat more
heartily Of It than he will Of corn meal.
8. The steers fed on the mixed grain
ration brought better price on the
market than either Of the other lots,
because they were in better condition.
They averaged, on day Of sale, 1S6
pound per head more than the lot fed
corn meal, 100 pounds more than the
lot fed ear corn In the barn, and 164
pounds more than the outdoor lot.
Z. The experiment shows that, for
rapid gains and top prices, the bal.
Snced ration excelS any corn ration.
8. But this does not necessarily imply
that the balanced ration affords the
cheapest gain. At the cost Of feed in
this case, s8 cents for oil meal, 80 cents
