The very small increase in total weight in flocks 55. 56, 57 and 58 during the fourth and fifth weeks was due in some degree to the high mortality. Weight of flock at 6 weeks: Greatest—Flock 59—Wet mash, powdered milk ration— lbs. Least—Flock 56—Cracked grain ration 31-92 lbs. Average weight of chicks Flocks 55 (cracked grain, bran) and 59 (powdered milk mash) were slightly heaviest in average weight of chicks at the beginning of the ex- periment. During the first week the chicks in flock 60 (skimmed milk mash) became heaviest and remained so till the fourth week.

It will be seen from Table 5 that the average weight per chick in flocks 55, 56, 57 and 58 was largely increased during the sixth week. This was due to the culling out of a number of the smaller chicks rather than to a larger increase in weight of the remaining chicks. The average weight of chicks was much less in the flocks having the dry-grain rations (55 to 58) than in those having the wet-mash (59, 60) and the variety rations (61). For a comparison of the gain in weight, see Figs. 172 and 173. Average weight of chicks: (Table 5.) Greatest—Flock 59—Wet mash, powdered milk ration— lb
