Marcker and Morgen,* as a result of their experiments with live difterent herds of cows, claim that more protein than the current usage and feeding standards call for can be economically fed, thus : — Digestible protein Cpounds), Digestible fat (pounds s Digestible cai-bohydrates (pounds), Nutritive ratio, ..... "While this might be economically true in sections of Ger- many, it does not necessarily hold that it is economically true in Massachusetts. Woll f has made quite a thorough inquiry into the rations fed by successful dairymen in ditlerent sections of the United States, and calls the average of his results the American standard ration, which he believes to be correct for the larger part of the United States. It is as follows : — Digestible protein, . Digestible fat, Digestible carbohydrates, Nutritive ratio, lbs. " « 1 He furnishes no results of experiments to prove this to be the case, simply basing his conclusion upon the opinion of dairy farmers. Whether the judgment of dairy farmers is correct or not we will not at this jioint express an opinion, but it seems to the writer a rather peculiar position for a scientific in(|uirer to take.
