We note first the indications of the separate individuality of our 
two cows. As between Periods I. and VIII. Ceres shows a loss of 
48 lbs. in live weight, or 6 per cent.; Juno a loss of 88 lbs., or 9 per 
cent. Ceres a gain in milk of 1.2 lbs., Juno a loss of 5.4 lbs. If 
we compare the three periods of nine days each, or Period II. a, 0, 
and ¢, we find the figures for live weight to be 758,738 and 725 lbs. 
for Ceres, or an indication of gradual decline; to be 933,908 and 
900 lbs for Juno, also an indication of losing weight. In the milk 
records, 24.0, 25.9, and 25.1 lbs. the average milk yield for Ceres 
during these periods ; 24.7, 24.6, and 23.8 lbs. the average milk 
yield for Juno, certainly not correspondences, and we are hence led 
to seek whether the effects marked are not from the amount of food 
eaten, rather than from the character of the food. We hence ar- 
range our foods in order of magnitude of albuminoid fed, as in the 
following table:
