experiment. The milk flow, which had begun to decrease on the 

 seventy-seventh day, dropped rapidly to four kilos As it was not 

 permissible to slaughter the animal nor cause her permanent injury, 

 the experiment was closed on the eighty-sixth day, and the cow 

 removed to a box stall where she was given a plentiful supply of 

 alfalfa and silage and whole bran. In the course of a week there 

 were no more signs of malnutrition; she maintained the weight 

 she had gained, the stiffness passed off, and the milk flow increased 

 according to the following records kindly furnished by Mr. Smith, 

 Station Dairy Expert.
