It appears from the above tabular statement, that the pulp regime 
increased by one-tenth the production of milk, comparatively with the 
root mode of feeding, — viz. 8'80 litres. 
On the 29th of Marcli, that is, after an interval of 15 days allowed 
to elapse between the two experiments, the order of feeding was 
changed ; Zerbette was fed with pulp, and Aylette with roots. This 
new experiment lasted twenty-one days.
