During this later period, December 29th, January 9th, there was a 
fall of .80 inch of rain, which occurred December 31 and January 1 
and 2. There were 6 clear days, viz.: December 29, 30, and January 
5, 6, 7 and 8. January 3d was fair. The highest temperature was 62° 
F. on January 2d, and the lowest, 22° F., occurred on the 6th. Mean 
temperature, 39 F. Mean relative humidity, 60.5 per cent. This low 
per centage of relative humidity indicates that at the temperatures given 
the usual chill of the air was much reduced by the lack of moisture and 
animals were therefore much more comfortable at the same temperature 
than with an ordinary amount of moisture in the air.

Nutritive ratio of ration 1 pound cotton seed meal to 7 pounds cotton seed hulls, 1:10.8. 
Cotton hulls from the same lot used, for the digestion of hulls alone, 
were used in this experiment. It was therefore deemed unnecessary to 
collect another sample and make another analysis. The composition oi 
the hulls and meal fed together with that of the solid excrement for each
