The sheep in some corrals were not allowed to eat loco-weed, but were fed abundantly with alfalfa hay. A second group were given only one-half rations of alfalfa hay, but no loco- weed. A third group were given no alfalfa hay, but plenty of loco- weed. A fourth group were given one-half rations of alfalfa hay and plenty of loco-weed. Another group were given plentiful rations of alfalfa hay and were also allowed to feed freely on loco-weed. The experiment was continued from July 15 to September... 6, 1904, 54 days. The details of this experiment are recorded elsewhere. It will suffice to sum- marize the results here. It appeared that the healthy sheep did not eat the loco-weed if they could. easily obtain a plentiful supply of green forage, but it was easy to force them to adopt a loco- weed diet by reducing their food, or by reducing available green forage, even when the animals were given a plentiful supply of cut alfalfa hay. When once the animal had started to eat the loco- weed, in no instance did they appear to eat it to the exclusion of other food, although they may eat rather more of loco- (4) weed than of any other single plant and may show rather a [235] preference for it.
