1 The grain mixture consisted of 30 per cent, bran and 70 per cent, corn meal. 



Applying the digestion coefficients secured by our experiments to the 

 analyses of rowen and alfalfa, tjae following amounts of organic nutrients 

 are found to be digestible in 2,000 pounds of dry matter. 



Table XXIII. — Digestible Organic Nutrients in 2,000 Pounds Dry 

 Matter {Poxmds). 



The alfalfa furnished 82.06 pounds more of digestible crude protein 

 than did the rowen, but less digestible fiber and extract matter, and 

 rather less total digestible organic nutrients. While the rowen contains 

 noticeably less digestible protein, the above computation indicates that 

 it should prove approximately as valuable for milk production as alfalfa.
