 meal and eluten feed. 



Summary of Coefficients, Period XIII. {Per Cent.). 



The coefficients agree closely, and the feed approaches the 

 minimum degree of digestibility (70 per cent.) for a concen- 

 trate. Its protein digestibility is fairly satisfactory. Its econ- 

 omy as a dairy feed would naturally depend upon its cost. 

 Feeds of this character are likelv to cost more than the in2;re- 

 dients of which they are composed. 



Series XIV. 

 Eleven experiments were made in this series, all of which, 

 with the exception of the 4 that follow, were carried out with 

 Porto Rico molasses and are published elsewhere. The diges- 

 tion coefficients for the hay used in periods VIII. and X. were 

 those obtained in period XI. The 4 sheep used in this experi- 

 ment were yearling Shropshires of substantially uniform 

 weight.
