Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). The Cause of "Apoplexy " in Winter-Fed Lambs 37 full at all times during the first part of the experiment, with only one feeding place in the rack for each lamb. If for any reason a lamb had to be removed from a pen, he was immediately replaced by another lamb as near his size and weight as possible. Two extra pens of lambs, 15 and 16, made up from those not used for the experiment, were fed at the same time to provide lambs to replace any that might die during the ex- periment. It was expected that the feeding of these four lots kept in full pens would give reliable data as to the relative values of wide and narrow rations, the value of succulence in the ration, and the effect of the four different rations on the prevalence of " apoplexy" when the lambs are cared for in a normal way. For further data concerning the cause of apoplexy, some of the lambs were continued after the main experiment was finished. These subsequent data will be discussed Fig. 16.—Double feed rack feeding and management The lambs were received from Chicago on October 29, 1910. They were housed temporarily until November 15th, and were fed mixed hay only. They were then put into their regular pens and the hay con- tinued without grain until November On November 22d the dif- ferent lots were started on the grain mixtures they were to receive dur- ing the experiment. At first they were fed clover hay and pea-and-oat hay for roughage, and grain once a day at the rate of 8 pounds per day for 58 lambs. Lots A and D were started on silage at the same time. The grain was gradually increased in amount and fed twice a day. On December T5th it was decided that all lots were in normal condi- tion and taking their rations reg
