cows, Ceres and Juno. Meg was going farrow and Jem soon due 
in calf, while both Ceres and Juno were fresh in milk at the begin- 
ning of the trial. The trial with Juno was in no way satisfactory, 
as in the last two periods she refused to eat either linseed meal or 
wheat bran. : 
The mass of detail tabular matter is unessential to the best 
understanding of the results, so only the averages for the last por- 
tion of each period are given. | 
The amount of food consumed per day for the last ten days of 
each period is given in the following table:
