vO STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 
The actual feeding experiment continued until March 2gth, 
eighty-four days. 
It should be explained that as the animals were kept in separate 
pens they were more or less restive. One was very much so, as 
stated beyond, and it seems probable that with this animal at 
any rate, the result of the experiment was affected by the nervous 
condition of the animal. 
KINDS AND AMOUNTS OF FOOD. 
The animals in the wide ration group, Nos. 3 to 7, were fed a 
ration of hay, turnips and corn meal. ‘Those of the narrow ration - 
group, Nos. 8 to 12, were fed rowen hay with a grain mixture of 
linseed meal, pea meal, wheat bran and corn meal. The rations 
fed each animal are shown in table 3. In each group the grain 
ration at the end of five weeks was increased by a half pound per 
animal. The total weight of feed, exclusive of the turnips, was 
the same in each group, 4 pounds per day per animal for the first 
five weeks and 4% pounds per day per animal for the remaining 
eight weeks.
