In the first column is given the total organic substance, by which is meant th 
weight of the food as fed, less the weight of the water and ash it contains. By th 
table we see that the ox weighing 1,000 pounds when well cared for, to keep in th 
same condition of flesh, neither gaining nor losing, requires 17.5 pounds organic sub 
stance, .7 pounds albuminoids, 8 carbohydrates, .15 fat, or total nutritive substance o* 
8.85 pounds per day, with nutritive ratio of 1:12. This is quite a different amoun 
and proportion from that required by the fattening ox as shown by the same table
