From the foregoing figures the partition of the ingredients and of the 

 energy of loo pounds of maize between the several products of the 

 milling may be computed to have been as shown in Tables V and VI. 

 The outstanding differences are the considerable proportion of the 

 nitrogen and the large proportion of the ash of the maize found in the 

 hominy feed.

a By difference. 

 Table VI. — Percentage partition of each ingredient 



ANIMALS 



The experiments were made upon two steers. It was not found 

 practicable to make the comparison on the same animal, since the 

 experiment had other objects, but the two steers were of like breed and 

 very similar in type, steer D being a grade Hereford, 33 months old, 

 and steer G a full-blood Hereford, 38 months old. 



GENERAL PLAN 



Each animal received three different amounts of hay in as many 

 periods, and from the data thus obtained the energy values of the hay 

 were computed. In two additional periods steer D received a mixed 

 ration of equal parts of hominy feed and mixed hay, and steer G a mixed 

 ration of i part mixed hay and 2 parts maize meal. One of these two 

 rations in each case was intended to be approximately a maintenance 

 ration, while the other was as heavy a ration as it was found practicable
