AVERAGE NET-ENERGY VALUES 
It will be noted in Table V that some of the values are in paren¬ 
thesis. These values are excluded from the averages. Among 
these are all of the net-energy values obtained for clover hay in 
experiment 186, and for timothy hay in experiment 200, although 
some of the results fall within the range of variation of the values 
obtained in other experiments with the same feeds. These have 
been excluded for the reason that they rest upon a somewhat less 
substantial basis than the other determinations, the maintenance 
requirement having been computed from results of other experiments 
with the same animals. 
The results on corn meal in Period III of experiment 179 (#), and 
the results on starch in Period IV of experiment 216 (9) are given in 
parentheses because of the small quantities of these feeds represented. 
The values for alfalfa meal in Period VI of experiment 212 have 
been excluded from the average because of the extent of their diver¬ 
gence from the other values of the same series. 
The net-energy values of grain mixture No. 3 in experiment 217 
have been computed from the mixed feed of hay and grain in Periods 
I and II, representing the unfattened condition of the animal, by 
the use of the net-energy value of the hay obtained in experiment 
216 with the same animal. 
' For convenience of reference, the average net-energy values of 
Table V have been assembled in Table VI.
