From the tables presented it is shown that with one exception — 
all of the products in the food reacting like sugars have been 
digested and a large portion of the starch. The total of sugars 
and starch digested in each ration falls a little short of the total 
amount of nitrogen-free extract digested. 
AMOUNT OF Dune Per Day By Some ANIMALS. 
As a basis for making an estimate of how much manure will be 
made by animals during the~period of winter feeding, I have 
brought together the results, secured with different animals, at 
this Station during the past year. I give the live weight of the 
animal, the weight of the fresh dung voided per day, also 
the weight of the water-free substance. The first four animals 
were cows in milk, the following two heifers, and the last two 
fattening steers:

Tt is noticeable that the amount of dung per day, either fresh 
or dry, does not increase in the order of the weight of the animals, 
but rather is dependent more upon the ration fed. |
