mark the beginning of new live

ed in an experiment station Just COM

The experiment carried on at the

pleted November Is. Two lots of 10

with one lot fed for a period of 146
days according to the usual method
and the other lot fed for SIT days
under the new system. The latter lot
topped the st. Paul market, averaged
1,036 pounds head at Is months of
age and netted 1921 a head over
cost of feed and original cost of

period averaged 701 pounds and re-
turned $12.85 a head over original

Results of the one experiment can
not be taken as conclusive, Mr.. Vinke
