Of the feeds examined, in per cent of digestibility of the albu- 
minoids, bean meal stands the highest, linseed meal, old process, 
next; pea meal but little less, while the mixed hay, of rather 
inferior quality but similar to much hay fed, stands lowest. The 
old process linseed meal shows a higher digestibility than the 
new process. ‘This difference is due, very likely, to the partial 
cooking of the meal by steam during the process of oil extraction, 
and preparation of the meal for feed. 
Cotton seed meal, much the richest substance examined, gives a 
high co-efficient for digestion. ~ A notable difference exists between 
the first three hays, showing plainly the difference between well- 
cured hay and that exposed to the weather. Of raw and cooked 
meal, mention will be made further on. 
In ‘nearly every instance the determinations were made in dupli- 
cate. ‘Tables II and III give only the average of the two determin- 
ations. In table IV are given a few of the duplicate tests to show 
how close parallels could be obtained. The greatest variation rep- 
resents, as determined in nitrogen, a difference of less than one- 
tenth per cent.
