The mixture of linseed meal and bran, and the corn meal, was, 
except for the first few days, fed dry, as it was then eaten more 
readily. Fresh water was kept in each pen. 
After May 1 each pen was given, daily, freshly-cut green grass. 
This was not weighed or analyzed, but the pens fared equally. 
Analyses were made of the materials, fed with the following 
results :
