2. Lambs fed on ensilafj:e dninli; less water than lambs fed; 

 wholly on tli-y food, but the lambs fed ensilage consumed more 

 water in the food and the water drank than those fed dry food. 



3. Where nitrogenous and carbonaceous rations were compared 

 as food for lambs, the indi\iduals of the lot of lambs receiving 

 the nitrogenous ration made a more uniform gain in live weight 

 than the lot fed a carbonaceous ration. 



4. Kesults have not been unifoi-m as regards the growth of i)igs 

 where carbonaceous and nitrogenous rations have been compare<l. 

 In one experiment there was no marked ditfc^-ence in gain in 

 live weight and no marked difference in the chemical composition 

 of the meat. The results from another exi)eriment showed a 

 marked difference in the gain in live weight and also a greati 

 difference in the relative piM>iK>rti<)n of fat and lean meat.
