The nutritive ratio of the hay-gluten-feed ration was 1 : 7.3, 

 of the hay-gluten-feed-molasses ration, 1 : 8. The rather wide 

 ratio of the hay-gluten-feed ration was due to the low protein 

 content of the hay. ]\Io]asses constituted only 6 per cent, of the 

 dry matter of the total ration. Tlie average depression was 

 59.72 (5G.92) grams of dry matter and 52.18 (49.32) grams
