Su7nmari/ of Coefficients, Mulassine Meal, Series XVIII., Periods XI. and 

 XIV.; Series XIX., Period I. 



1 Fed with English hay. 



2 Fed with English hay and gluten feed. 



In three trials the basal ration was English hay; in two other 

 trials English hay and gluten feed were used. Inasmuch as it 

 contains practically no fat, and that its nitrogen is in the 

 amido form, its chief nutritive value is to be found in the 

 carbohydrates. On the basis of the digestibility and at the 

 same moisture content, Molassine meal would have scarcely 

 two-thirds of the nutritive value of corn meal.^ 



Melleii's Food Refuse. 

 This material is sold to a limited extent in Massachusetts 

 and consists of the residue resulting from the manufacture of an 

 infant food. The original ingredients used in the food are 

 barley, malt, flour and bran.
