HATCH EXPERIMENT STATION. 



[Jan. 



The digestion coefficients for the digestion hay, used in 

 calculating the results of the several experiments with the 

 old sheep, were those obtained with Sheep II. and HI., 

 Sheep I. having been disposed of before the digestibility of 

 the hay was determined. 



The individual coefficients were used for the young sheep, 

 being obtained from the average of the two trials in the 

 case of Sheep I. and II., and that of the single trial for 



Sheep HI. 



Hay Coefficients used (Per Cent.). 



In calculating the digestion coefficients when English hay 

 was used, excepting in periods IV., V. and XH., the aver- 

 age analysis of the two samples of hay was employed.
