without beets and pulp as with them.
(5) In feeding 1,000-pound steers
all the alfalfa and beet pulp they
would take, larger and more economi-
cal grains were secured by adding
four pounds grain to the ration per
steer per day.
co In ration Of alfalfa and pulp
with steers. limiting the pulp one
fourth to one-half with all the alfalfa
that they would take. increased the
gains and reduced the cost Of produc-
ton.
CD In ration of alfalfa and pulp
with steers. limiting the alfalfa one
half, with all the pulp that they would
take, increased the cost of production
and decreased the gains.
go In feeding S0-pound wether
lambs all the alfalfa and pulp they
would take, one pound of grain added
to the rotation per lamb per day, in
creased the gain and also the cost of
production.
go One-half pound Of grain per
lamb per day compared with one
pound of grain gave lower gains and
also lower cost of production.
(10) One-half pound of grain per
lamb per day, with all the alfalfa and
pulp that the animal would take, COM
pared with no grain, increased the
cost Of production but not the gain.
CID In ration of alfalfa and pulp
with lambs, limiting the pulp one
fourth to ene-half with all the alfalfa
that they would take, increased the
gain and decreased the cost of pro-
duction.
(12) In ration of alfalfa and pulp
with lambs, limiting the alfalfa one
half, with all the pulp that they would
take, increased the gains and de-
creased the cost of production.
(13) In feeding ration of alfalfa
and beet pulp to sheep and steers bet
ter results were secured in every in
stance when either the alfalfa or the
pulp was limited. Larger gains and
cheaper production were secured when
the pulp rather than the alfalfa was
limited.
(14) Sugar beets fed to steers with
alfalfa and four pounds grain per head
per day, had value of $2.36 per ton.
(15} Sugar beets fed to eight
months old lambs, with alfalfa and
five pounds grain per head per day,
! had an average value of $3.41 per ton.
(16) Beet molasses fed to pigs, with
green alfalfa, skim milk and shorts,
had value of SLIP per hundred.
CD Beet molasses fed to pigs,
with shorts and beet pulp, had a value
of "a cents per hundred.
(18) By substituting IL pounds
molasses for one pound shorts with
pigs fed shorts and on alfalfa pas
ture, the consumption of the latter
was increased, the daily gain per pig
increased from IS pound to 10 pound
and the cost of production per hum
dred reduced from $4.99 to $3.1S. By
further adding six pounds skim milk
per pig per day to the ration, the daily
| gain was increased to 1.13 pounds, and
the cost of production per hundred re-
duced to $2.7s.
(19) For swine, sugar beets had an
average value of 1882 and pulp $2.57
| per ton.
| COO AS high as 20 pounds of pulp
| was fed to horses per animal per day
/ without any apparent inquiry. In a
raflon Of alfalfa hay and oats nine
pounds of well fermented solid pulp
saved 1.5 pounds oats.
CID Pulp fed to sheep did not pro.
