IIo STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 
The amounts fed daily were as follows: Wheat bran, 4 ounces; 
corn meal, 12 ounces; hay, 1 pound, being the wide ration used 
in the sheep feeding experiments described on page 94 of this 
Report. With sheep D the experiment was apparently normal 
throughout. Sheep B had a slight tendency to diarrhoea toward 
the end of the experiment. This may account for the larger 
weight of feces in the case of B and the consequent lower coef- 
ficients of digestion. 
Tables 23 and 24, which follow, give the details of the experi: 
ment.
