As aheady noted, "Weiske's lambs grew faster than others of tlie same herd, and it is not unlikely that slightly less food would have given satisfactory results. The gain of live-weight diminished as the animals ap- proached maturity, while the protein consumption, as well as the gain of flesh, per head, was found to be nearly con- stant throughout. If, however, the results are calculated per 100 pounds live-weight, as in Soxhlet's experhnents on calves, we have a somewhat different showing. In the following table this has been done.
