Series XI. 

 This series was begun August 12, 1905, with Early Amber 

 Sorghum, and continued until April 7, 1906. The Paige 

 Sheep worked especially well in this series, and were used in 

 the larger number of the experiments. The digestion hay 

 used in periods III. and IV. was the new hay described in 

 the previous series, to which the reader is referred for compo- 

 sition and digestion coefficients. The composition of the hay 

 used in all other periods is given in the table of analyses. The 

 coefficients employed were the following : —
