     Data from a foster feeding experiment with rat mothers and litters
     of four different genotypes: 'A', 'B', 'I' and 'J'.  Rice litters
     were separated from their natural mothers at birth and given to
     foster mothers to rear.

     The data frame has the following components:

     '_L_i_t_t_e_r' The genotype of the litter

     '_M_o_t_h_e_r' The genotype of the foster mother

     '_W_t' Litter average weight gain of the litter, in grams at age 28
          days. (The source states that the within-litter variability
          is negligible.)
