From these figures we see indicated a certain relationship between 
the amount of albuminoid in the food and the milk yield, the fig- 
ures varying from the correspondence in places, but in general con- 
forming, especially if the influence of the time from calving be esti- 
mated ; while the co-relation between the albuminoid and the hve 
weight is not equally as well marked in the two cows. 
We may infer from these tables that the amount of albuminoid 
fed had more influence than the character of the food, as between 
the waste products of the starch and glucose manufacture, while the 
character of the food had an influence upon the production of milk. 
One effect seems, however, well marked. The addition of the acid 
seemed favorable to the maintenance weight, and not unfavorable to 
milk yield but to a slight degree, if at all.

Before studying into the actual results obtained, we must remind 
that as a general rulea milch cow loses weight after calving, and 
this rule is so marked that in our own experience a good milch
