energy values of the more important feeding stuffs in the man- 

 ner described in Chapter XVII (773, 774) with the results re- 

 garding ruminants reported in Bulletin No. 142 of the Pennsyl- 

 vania Experiment Station and in Bulletin No. 459 of the U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture. Those results, with a few addi- 

 tions and corrections, are here reproduced and the computa- 

 tion has also been extended, as well as the meager basis now 

 available will permit, to the data regarding swine supplied by 

 Henry and Morrison's tables. The figures for the horse are de- 

 rived in part from the same source and in part from Zuntz 

 and Hagemann's investigations, the net energy values being 

 computed according to the method proposed by those investi- 

 gators (775-778). The tables show primarily the net energy 

 values for maintenance or fattening. There seems good reason 

 for believing, however, that they may be taken without serious 

 error to represent also the net energy values for growth and 

 for work production and at least the relative values for milk 

 production. 



Henry and Morrison's tables include only the crude protein 

 (N X 6.25). The amount of non-protein has been estimated 

 from the crude protein by the writers on the basis of Kellner's 

 averages.
