From these averages, the feeder may readily calculate the cost and possible profits of fat- tening lambs under reasonably favorable conditions, and when the fattening period is not too extended. Hints on feeding corn.—Being low in protein, corn should be sup- plemented with some kind of legume hay, or if this is not available. Fig. 94.

Depart- ment of Agriculture.) then with some protein-rich concentrate, such as linseed or cottonseed meal, when fed to fattening sheep or lambs. In each of 7 trials at various stations corn and timothy or prairie hay was fed to one lot of lambs and corn and clover or alfalfa hay to another. On the average, the lambs fed the legume hay gained lb. per head daily, while those fed the unbalanced ration of corn and timothy or prairie hay gained only lb. and required 46 per ct. more grain and 15 per ct. more hay per 100 lbs. gain. In 4 other trials, corn and timothy hay were fed to one lot of lambs, while another received these feeds and 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 not perfectly resemble the original Henry, W.
