Ram III was fed Mangels. No calculus was present. Miss S. Hartzell, who investigated the chemistry, reports as follows: A post mortem examination of several valuable animals which the Experiment Station lost showed that renal calculi were present. This resulted in the metabolism experiment which was conducted by the Animal Husbandry Section in co-operation with the Chemical Section of the Experiment Station. Thus far 42 rams have been used in the experiment, of which 11 were fed hay and com; 9 were fed hay, corn and ensilage; 11 were fed hay, corn and mangels; 11 were fed hay, corn and sugar beets. In the case of those which were fed hay and corn, and also of those which were fed hay, com and ensilage, the bladders and kidneys were normal while the results were the reverse in the case of those which were fed sugar beets or mangels along with the hay and corn. The sugar beets and mangels had the same effect- The kidneys were larger than normal, the gall bladders were distended, the bladders wer" enlarged, often very much so, and in several cases the heart was enlarged. The kidneys in all cases were of a pale color. Three animals, died during the experiment. The bladder of one was highly inflamed while in the other two the bladders contained calculi which were too large to pass thru the urethra. The kidneys of two of the animals were broken.
