 feeding standards, which have been devised from and based upon feeding experi-

 hydrates" and "digestible fat," which have been found on the average, in 1 pound 

 each of the several feeding materials named, as calculated from the average analyses 

 of these feeding substances, and the percentage of the several nutritive constituents 

 which have been found by several experiments to be digestible by ruminants : —
