3. The results interpreted under the ruling of the law of tendency 
to loss of live weight in milking cows must be considered as indicat-. 
ing excellent value towards the maintenance of live weight. 
. The results indicate a tendency in this food towards stimulating 
the milk yield. 
5. When our results are interpreted under the ruling of the gener-- 
al law that increase of milk yield is co-relative with decrease of fat 
percentage, we cannot say from our figures but that the richness of 
the milk was dependent upon the individuality of our cows, and that. 
the milk fat showed any well recognized change arising from the 
character of the food. 
6. The acidity of the food was not distinctly detrimental to its. 
value either for maintenance or milk, but on the contrary the effect 
of the acid seemed favorable toward increasing the appetite and es-. 
tablishing increase of live weight. 
Just before the completion of the experiments recorded above, we 
received four bags of ground hull and ground germ, the waste of a 
new process for utilizing the corn grain, and fed this food for thir-- 
teen days. Calling this ‘feeding Period [X, we have for. comparison 
Period VIII, in which nearly precisely equivalents of albuminoid 
and nitrogen- -free extract was consumed, and nearly double the oil. 
The daily data, during Period IX, is as below :—
