Laborious, and in many respects instructive as are these experiments, yet they are 

 also in many particulars defective. 



We can employ only the first five in conclusions ; since chaff-mixture (Hacksel or 

 Hackerling), hay, grass, and clover must be considered as the natural kinds of fodder. 

 With beets, Swedish turnips, and potatoes, one cannot exclusively fodder beasts with- 

 out making them sick, which happened with beets, and would happen with other 

 roots certainly if they were longer used. 



The proportional greater weight of stall- mixture, — since one ought not to call by 

 name of manure this raw mass consisting of excrement and straw 8 days old, — from 

 the dry fodder, compared with the grass, must be ascribed to the greater quantity of 

 water which the beasts drank while eating chaff-mixture and hay, and the less evap- 

 oration in March, compared with the stronger in June. Why they ate less of clover 

 reduced to its dry weight, than of hay, and even of the chaft-mixture, most probably 

 was owing to the clover being in full bloom, in which state the beasts eat it not so 

 freely. Why, finally, the proportion of the dung, together with the litter, in the fod«
