final comparison, between the smallest and greatest rations, is regarded 

 as the average result, and on it is based the computation of the distribu- 

 tion of this energy between standing, rising, and lying down, fermenta- 

 tion, and the "remainder," as well as, in the case of mixed rations, the 

 computation of the energy increment due to the hay. The same results, 

 computed per 500 kg. of live weight, are also represented graphically in 

 figure 2, the abscissae representing the amount of dry matter consumed 

 and the ordinates the corresponding corrected heat production, the 

 heat production per kilogram of dry matter corresponding to the tangent 

 of the angle between the graph and the horizontal axis.
