In 1908-'09 the animals were fed fourteen days longer than they were in the winter of l907-'08. Each steer's daily ration was kept a little below pounds of cottonseed meal and to pounds of hulls.

Total winter gain of each steer, 3 pounds. Total cost of wintering each steer, $ through the winter on cottonseed as a supplement to the range. It was learned that pounds of cottonseed per steer per day was not quite sufficient to keep the animals from losing weight. Each steer lost 40 pounds in weight during the winter period of 98 days. In the first winter's work it is seen that pounds of good peavine hay, along with the range, afforded the steers sufficient daily feed to allow them to maintain a practically uniform weight. Or, when Lots 2 and 3 (19()7-'08) are compared, it is seen that 714 pounds of cowpea hay were practically equal in feeding value to 197 pounds of cotton-.
