This experiment shows, Hke the other, that a change of 

 grain, so long as there is no wide departure in the digestible 

 matter, does not materially affect the results, and as the above 

 rations were compounded, the shorts are as effective as the mid- 

 dlings, but the cost is less by about one-cent daily with the 

 shorts. 



GLUTEN COMPARED WITH MIDDLINGS. 



A single experiment with gluten and 7JiiddUngs resulted as 

 follows : 



In this case there is an unmistakable gain in favor of the 

 gluten meal. The amount used was such that the cost of the 

 rations was identical. 



GLUTEN COMPARED WITH SHORTS. 



Countess Gazelle. (Jersey.) 



As in the last case the cost of these two rations is the same, 

 but it will be seen that the gluten is the more efficient, and this, 

 too, against the natural shrinkage of the yield, for in each case 

 the gluten was fed last. 



The change in nutritive ratio is not great, but it will be no- 

 ticed that the results, so far as they go, would seem to indicate
