[Jan. 



matter and 31.07 grams of organic matter per 100 grams of 

 molasses, and is equivalent to 47 per cent, of the molasses fed. 

 The feeding of 100 grams of molasses caused a loss of 8.3 per 

 cent, in the digestibility of the hay-gluten-feed ration. Sheep 

 IV. showed considerably more depression than Sheep III. ; the 

 former sheep lost l/o pound and the latter gained 2 j)ounds in 

 weight during the seven days of the trial. 



Series XII., Period V. 



[600 grams hay, 200 grams gluten feed, 100 grams molasses, 10 grams salt.] 

 (a) Coefficients for Molasses. 



The nutritive ratio of the hay-gluten-fccd ration was 1 : 5.3, 

 and of the hay-gluten-fecd-molasscs ration, 1:6; molasses re- 

 presented \).4: per cent, of the dry matter of the total ration.
