 best not to include them in the average. The reason for this 

 variation cannot be explained. The coefficients for Sheep I. 

 and 11. in period VIII. agree fairly well, and show this proprie- 

 tary feed to have a high digestibility. These results, together 

 with its high protein and a low fiber content, indicate a high- 

 grade protein dairy feed. 



English Hay. — The hay used in this period consisted of

 in blossom, well cured and in good condition. Before feeding it

 mixed to insure uniformity through the entire lot. 



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



The coefficients ol)tained in this trial agree closely. With 

 the exception of the coefficient obtained for protein they also
