144 STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. - 
No. 224. DIETARY OF TWO WOMEN IN THE ADIRONDACKS 
IN SUMMER. 
The study began August 9, 1897, and continued fourteen days, making a 
total of eighty-four meals, equivalent to one woman twenty-eight days, or one 
man twenty-two days. 
The subjects were relatives of the gentleman the studies of whose dietaries 
have been given as No. 175 (1896 Report), and Nos. 184, 202, and 223 of this 
Report. The two women ‘‘had light exercise and were in good health. They 
ate rather more than they were accustomed to when at their city home.” The 
average weight of the women was 105 pounds.
