eaten, and the quantities digested and oxidized each day and 
during the whole four days of the experiment. ‘The tables 
giving the results of these computations are similar to those 
in the Report of the Station for 1896 and in Bulletin No. 44 
of the Office of Experiment Stations of the U. S. Department 
of Agriculture. The results are very briefly recapitulated in 
tables 55-58 beyond. | 
The detailed explanation of the method of calculation used 
in preparing these tables is given on pages 35-40 in Bulletin 
44 of the Office of Experiment Stations previously referred to. 
Table 55 shows the income and outgo of nitrogen and carbon 
and the calculated gain or loss of these and of protein and fat.
