* Seven of the above rations (Nos. 21, 23, 25, 29, 30, 33, and 34) were suggested by the 
writers. Hence the twenty-seven rations, the average of which is here given, actually repre- 
sent the feeding practice of these dairymen. 
Table 9, on pages 55 to 58, gives a summary of 34 rations 
used in feeding the dairy herds studied by the Station. Seven 
of these rations were, however, suggested by the writers, and 
therefore only 27 of them actually represent the feeding prac- 
tice of these dairymen. 
The total weights of food fed per 1,000 pounds live weight 
are given in the first column of figures. As explained above, 
all of the foods used in these experiments were carefully
