The results of one experiment were discarded on account of the 

 death of one of the cows. In general the results at the three 

 other farms showed an increased milk yit'ld with st'same cake, but a 

 lower yield of total fat in the milk than with linseed cake. The relation 

 between the milk yield on the two feeds is given for the several experi- 

 ments as follows : 



The relative amounts of fat in the milk were: 



The milk piodiicrd on linseed cake was thcrrftire relatively the richer 

 in fat. 

 The relative amounts of solids not fat in the milk were: 



Estimates of the money value of the ingredients of the milk produced 

 on the two tei'ds, eahuhiting one jiart of fat as e<iual to tliree and to 

 four parts of solids not-fat, respectively, indicated the milk constitu- 

 ents ])roduced on linseed cake to be of slightly higher value than those 

 produced on sesame cake. As like money values of the two 4'akes were 

 fed, the tinancial advantage would seem in these cases to be on the side 

 of linseed cake, and a milk relatively richer in fat was also produced 

 with this cake.
