Comments on the Results. 



The hays prove to be about as digestible as those tested a 

 year ago, aud correspond in digestibility very closely to the 

 figures given by Woltf. 



Vetch and Oats. 



The vetch and oats hay appears, with the exception of the 

 fat, to be about as digestible as good English hay. 



JVew-process Linseed Meal. 



This test corresponds fairly with those made a year ago. 

 The animal appeared to have very thoroughly assimilated 

 the fat of the meal. 



Bnifalo Gluten Feed. 



This sample gives distinctly higher digestion percentages 

 than the one tested a year ago. The reason for this cannot 

 be given. The parallel tests in each case agree closely. 

 Other samples will be procured and further tests made. 



Peoria Gluten and Chicago Maize Feeds. 



These two gluten feeds correspond very closely one with 

 the other in the amounts of digestible matter they contain. 

 The Peoria feed was inferior in composition to the maize 

 feed. 



Chicago Gluten Meal. 



As there is comparatively no cellulose in this and the 

 Kinoj ijluten meal, that insredient is not to be considered. 

 The Chicago meal shows an exceptional degree of digesti- 

 bility, 93 per cent, of the entire meal having been assimi- 

 lated. 



King Gluten Meal. 



The King gluten meal was also quite digestible, 85 per 

 cent, of the total drv matter being assimilated.
