The nutritive ratio of the hay-glu ten-feed ration was 1: 7.3, 

 of the hay-ghiten-feed-mol asses ration, 1 : 8, The rather wide 

 ratio of the hay-glnten-feed ration was due to the low protein 

 cniilciit of the hay. Molasses constituted only 6 per cent, of the 

 dry niattei- of the total ration. The average depression was 

 59.72 (56.02) grains of dry matter and 52.18 (49.32) grains
