DIGESTION EXPERIMENT NO. 6. 
Barley fodder. 
iwovanimals, A and D of experiment No. 5. Experiment 
began October 6, 1894, and ended October 18, 1894. Feces 
collected for five days from October 13 at noon to October 18 at 
noon. Each sheep was fed six pounds per day of the barley fod- 
der. The barley was cut for feeding and samples were taken at 
four different times, namely, October 8, 11, 13, 15. At the time 
of taking the first sample, No. 1370, the barley was nearly grown 
and in full bloom. Whenthe second sample was taken the barley 
was in bloom and beginning to seed. When the third sample, 
No. 1374, was taken, the barley was in early seeding and at the 
time of the last cutting it was still succulent. It was thought 
that it would be more nearly correct to use the average of the 
analyses of the second and third cuttings for the purpose of the 
experiment. With both animals the experiment was apparently — 
normal throughout, except sheep A did not eat reg all the fodder 
which was fed. 
Tables 33 and 34, which follow, give the SCHEME of the expert- 
tient.
