The ratio of the hay-gluten-feed-molasses ration was as 1 : 9.3, 

 against 1 : 7.4 in case of the haj-gliiten-feed ration, and 20.4 

 per cent, of the dry matter of the entire ration consisted of 

 molasses. The depression was 18.67 (17.97) grams of dry 

 matter and 15.43 (14.73) grams of organic matter per 100 

 grains of molasses, which was equal to 25 per cent, of the dry 

 matter of the molasses fed. The feeding of 200 grains of 

 molasses caused a loss or depression of 7.60 per cent, in the 

 digestibility of the 650 grams of hay-ghi ten-feed ration. Sheep 

 III. lost 2 pounds and Sheep IV. 3.5 jiounds in live weight 

 during the trial.
