from its left side which was probably eaten, and which prob-

DIGESTION EXPERIMENT NO. 13. 
Soy Bean Meal, with timothy rowen* 
This experiment was a duplicate of No. 12, with the same 
animals and the same feed, but in different proportions. ‘The 
experiment began February 16, 1895, and continued twelve 
days. The feces were collected for the five days from February 
23, 5P. M., to February 28, 5 p. mM. ‘The animals ate the 
rations completely with the exception that the last three days 
C and F left alittle uneaten residue. Each sheep was fed daily 
three-fourths pound soy bean meal and one and one-half 
pounds timothy rowen. 
DIGESTION EXPERIMENT NO. I4. 
Oats and Peas, fed green. 
This and the following experiments with green fodders were 
made particularly to test the digestibility of fodders used in 
feeding tests with milch cows. ‘The general plan was to feed 
three or four days without sampling, then three or four days 
taking sample 1, then five days taking sample2. This had at 
times to be modified to meet various conditions, as particularly, 
weather. 
Animals, sheep A and B, of preceding experiments. ‘The
