rations containing much of the gluten meals. The poorest ration 
was also deficient in mineral matter, the gluten meals carrying very 
little. 
The rations containing “milk albumen,” which was of higher 
grade than usual, were more palatable and seemed more healthful 
than the others, but owing to the higher price for this food at the 
time it was not profitably used in the desired quantity. The rations 
containing animal meal were more profitably fed. 
The results and observations in general, like those from other 
trials, show a greater disadvantage in the free use of foods of 
uncertain palatability and healthfulness during earlier stages of 
growth than at any other time.
