A part of the breeding herd of the Agricultural College. It is entirely feasi- ble to make calves from such cows into baby beef. For example, taking the average of all the Ottawa experi- ments, it is shown that the cost per hundred pounds of gain was as follows: Calves Yearlings Three-year-olds. $ In the case of the Kansas results, the rank in cost of gain was as follows: Calves Yearlings Three-year-olds. $ Thus, in the case of the Ottawa experiments, as between calves and three-year-olds, for example, the difference was $ per hun-.
