(This picture shows the class of cattle, the general appear- ance of pasture, and the nature of the coimtry.) Two distinct phases of the problems as outlined in objects 1 and 2 presented themselves for solution: First, the wintering of yearlings that are to be pastured the following summer and sold as stockers or feeders; second, the wintering and subsequent grazing of older steers to be sold from grass when fat. The first, however, is the only one considered here, the second being reserved for further investigation. The work was carried on for a period of four years, in order to have an average of feedstuffs, cattle, seasons, and other conditions tend- ing to produce variation. The general plan of these experiments, including the rations used for the different lots of steers, is given in Table 1.
