*The digestion coefficient for the foods marked with a star are from the German tables 
Amount oF DigEsrisLE Marrer in Carrie Foops. 
The great interest manifested by the farmers of New York 
State in all questions of feeding has led me to calculate the 
amount of digestible matter in our more common foods. By 
referring to Table D we can find all calculated the amount of 
yy digestible matter in one pound, five pounds, twenty pounds, twenty- 
five pounds, and 2,000 pounds of the various coarse ,fodders ; in 
a the grains, meals, etc., the amounts are given up to as much as 
_ will be likely to be fed per day. -The reader will notice in Table
