. Ear corn 73.6c "per bu. (68.698 lbs.)*. Cost of breaking  
2.5c per bu. Cost of shelling 5c per bu.. Cottonseed meal $40 j
per ton. Silage $7 per ton. Straw $15 per ton.
Both lots sold at the same price, $8.75 per cwt. The total  
commission, feed and yardage charges, including freight, was  
$81.68, or $40.84 for each lot. Considering the additional feed
consumed the loss per steer was $35.25 in the, shelled corn lot L
and $34.09 in the broken ear corn lot, or $1.16 greater where L
shelledcorn was fed. Table IV shows that the shelled corn
lot lost $2.62 per head more than the others. Hence the con- l
clusion remains the same, namely, that in this experiment it
did not pay to shell corn.
