visable to also classify water as a nutrient and assume, 

 since the pig requires more than is present in ordinary 

 feed stuffs, that the entire quantity is digestible. Hence 

 in the accompanying tables the entire water content is 

 given under the head of digestible nutrients. The min- 

 eral matter included in the table under this head is also 

 the total ash content of the feeds obtained from com- 

 position tables :

The green feeds that are specified under the head of 

 carbonaceaus concentrates contain a great deal of water. 

 It is evident that, if fed in large enough quantities to 

 compel the pig to take more water than his system de- 

 mands, these feeds would become roughages in the sense
