In 1908 "Caddo" cake was used in one lot so that its value as a feed could be compared to cottonseed cake. The steers in Lot D in 1908 (these were a mixed bunch of steers and cannot be compared directly to the other three lots), on account of being smaller than the ones in the other lots, were fed only pounds of cottonseed cake per head per day. In 1909 cottonseed was fed to Lot E. When looking at the last column it is seen that the cot-. LoT B.—End of summer 1908. Feed, cottonseed cake and pasture. Average daily gain of each steer pounds. Cost of 100 pounds of gain .... $ Total profit per steer 10. 42 tonseed cake was more efficient than the "Caddo" cake for making gains. In 1908 only 143 pounds of cottonseed cake were required to make one hundred pounds gain, while 180 pounds of the "Caddo" cake were required to make the same number of pounds gain. Lot D cannot be compared to Lots B and C. It is true that the "Caddo" cake did not cost as much as did the cottonseed cake, but it will be seen later, when the cost of the feeds are taken into consideration, that ^he cottonseed cake was the more economical feed to use. CTnder the conditions of this test one pound of cottonseed cake was equal, in feeding value, to pounds of "Caddo" Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may
