protein. It has a nutritive ratio of 1 : 6.2, which is wider than the 

 limits suggested, but wliich might give good results in some cases.

 protein, while the peas contain even more protein than wheat bran. 

 By feeding one pound more of peas and one pound less of meal the 

 nutritive ratio would be 1 : 5.8.
