EXPERIMENT VI. 
This experiment conducted with the Jersey cow Nellie, gave an 
opportunity of determining the digestibility of the following ration 
per day: Hay, 21.5 pounds; wheat bran, 3.25 pounds; corn meal, 
2.2 pounds; cotton-seed meal, 2.2 pounds; .linseed meal, 1.1 
pounds and oats, 3.25 pounds. The next table shows the digesti- 
bility of such a ration.

The nutritive ratio for the ration proved to be 1 : 5.7, or very 
nearly the German standard, which is 1 : 5.4. 
As in the other trials, calculating the digestibility of the grain 
ration, the following table is secured :
