aud the results to be detailed will show that these vibram five fingers circumstances were not without their influence.A flock of 100 three-year old wethers, which had been recently fed in the field upon swedes and clover-chaff, were weighed February 26, from which, according to weight and general similarity of breed, 45 were taken, and 5 put into vibram fivefingers each of 9 of the experimental pens, it being so arranged, that, as far as possible, each sheep had its counterpart in weight and make in each of the other pens, vibram five fingers sale though within each pen the animals mifive fingers shoes first weighed, the sheep were very dirty, and it would have been desirable to have had thein previously trimmed; but it was considered that they would compare with each other in this respect, and that as it was intended to allow them a week or more to get accustomed to the new food and situation before commencing the exact experiment, they would by that time have lost much of their adherent dirt, and that their second weights would be somewhat uniform. For skechers shape ups some time, however, scarcely any of the animals did well upon their food, by no means a fair allowance of the mangolds being eaten.The mangolds were supplied to all the pens in any quantity the animals chose to eat them. The beans were, from the commencement, scarcely touched; one of the animals fed upon them had soon to be removed and killed, and the rest, with the exception of a single sheep, lost so much as to bring the average weight down below that of any of the other pens—a result which is not easily accounted for by a consideration of the character of the food supplied. It was soon discontinued, however, and oilcake and swedes, a few mangolds only being intermixed, were given to the animals until they were supposed somewhat to have regained their position, after which mangolds and oil-cake were given alone. Mbt shoes clearance The collected results of the experiments are given in Table II.An account of the progress of those animals which either died from illness, or were killed, is excluded from this Table; and it will be seen that there was one such in pen 1, with dry barley; one in pen 3, with steeped barley; one in pen 4, with steeped malt; and one in pen 6, with the beans. No. 1 sheep, in pen 3, also with dry malt
