When the hay was fed Ly itself the nutritive ratio of the 

 digestible ingredients was 1 : 7.7, and when fed with molasses, 

 1:9; molasses constituted 9.5 per cent, of the dry matter of the 

 hay-molasses ration. In case of Sheep II. the 100 grams of 

 molasses created a very marked depression in the digestibility of 

 the several ingredients of the hay, namely, 21.09 (22.73) grams 

 of dry matter, equal to 4.7 per cent. In case of Sheep III. 

 there appears to have been a very slight gain in the digestibility 

 of the hay.
