Unfortunately no very extensive determinations of the compo- 

 sition and energy values of the increase of live weight in growing 

 animals have yet been reported. The following estimates by the 

 writer, derived from such data as are available, may serve to give a 

 general idea of the requirements per pound of growth of cattle and 

 sheep at different ages, but they can not lay claim to any high de- 

 gree of accuracy. The figures refer to normal growth, with no con- 

 siderable fattening.
