when fed with silage. High meal and
bulls were not. however, as efficient
as medium meal and hulls, or medium
meal and silage.
s. Silage proved much more efficient
than hulls. The average gain with
silage and cottonseed-meal was 154.9
pounds; with hulls and cottonseed.
meal, 144.1 pounds; and with a comb.
nation of silage, bulls and cottonseed-
meal, 171.7 pounds.
7. Silage made 7.3 per cent more
gain than hulls, at 2L7 per cent less
cost than cottonseed hulls.
g. The average cost of pound gain
where cottonseed bulls we're fed was
11.3 cents, and where silage was fed,
SO cents.
8. Where silage may be had, only a
small amount of bulls should be fed.
TO- Allowing that the manure offsets
the cost of labor, and that the steers
are fed on a $3.50 margin and sell for
$500 per hundredweight, silage was
worth $765 per ton and cottonseed
bulls were worth $13.7S per ton. Had
there been but dollar margin be-
tween the purchase and selling prices
of steers only 1857 would have been
obtained for each ton of hulls fed.
II. The average profit for steers re-,
eeiving hulls was s72S and for steers
receiving silage, SLIPS A much wider
margin is needed when hulls are fed
than when silage is fed.
II. In 1912, steers that were the re-
suit Of one or more crosses of a beef
bred made 1872 pounds more gain than
steers in which dairy blood FREEDOM
mated. Beef-bred steers made 40
pounds more gain than scrub steers.
10. The average gain of steers OF the
best beef type, for two years, was sac
pounds higher than that of steers OF
the poorest type.
