This ration falls short of the standard by abont three-quar- 

 ters of a pound of digestible protein. This must evidently 

 be supplied by some nitrogenous bye-fodder, such as oil 

 cake, fish, etc. Taking cotton-seed meal as an illustration, 

 we find that the addition of two and one-half pounds of 

 this feeding-stuff to the above ration, supposing the meal 

 to have the average composition of the American article, 

 and to be of average digestibility, will bring it up to the 

 desired standard.
