A comparison of the metabolizable energy per kilogram of digested 
organic matter as given in Table IV with the previous results shows a 
very close agreement, the figures being for clover hay 3.52 therms as 
compared with 3.49 therms, and that for maize meal 3.76 therms as 
compared with 3.80 therms.
