Experiments with fattening sheep. — Of these little need be said 

 except that they contiriii in a striking way the superior value of the dry 

 residue, and thus agree with the other experiments. 



Series 8, I", U, and V. — Wet vs. dry diffusion residue. — Series S 

 conducted by Herr Heine in Iladmersleben, series T by Herr Heine in 

 Emersleben, series U by Herr Kotze in Klein Oschersleben, series V 

 by Herr Kastendiek in Ampfurt. In each series 20 sheep divided into 

 two lots of 10 each. One lot received wet and the other dry diffusion 

 residue added to the basal ration.
