DIFFERENCE IN AMOUNT OF EXCRETA VOIDED FOR 

 FOOD CONSUMED. 



WITH regard to the difference in the composition of the 

 solid excreta voided by different fattening animals, fed on 

 the same amount of food, see Warington's ' Chemistry of 

 the Farm/ p. 125, where it is shown that for equal 

 amount of live weight, the sheep produces on the same 

 weight of dry food very much more manure than the 

 pig, while the ox produces even more than the sheep. 

 Of course this does not lefer to the total amount of man- 

 ure produced by the different animals, but only to the 

 amount of manure produced from the consumption of 

 equal quantities of food. This would seem to be owing 

 to the greater capacity the pig has for assimilating its food. 



NOTE II. (p. 5). 

 SOLID EXCRETA VOIDED BY SHEEP, OXEN, AND Cows. 



To contrast with the analyses given by Stoeckhardt, it 

 may be well to cite those quoted by Warington (* Chem- 

 istry of the Farm,' p. 138) :
