The respiration chamber which gives the key to balanced rations. the value of extensive investigations that have been conducted for many years at the Pennsj'-lvania State College. As a result of it a number of feeding problems which directly concern New Hampshire are being solved. It has opened up a new field for the other state experiment stations of the country by demonstrating the possibilities of a respiration chamber, the cost of which is $1200, whereas the only others in existence cost tens of thousands. For the first time by means of this chamber figures have been secured on the digestive value of native mixed hay; and when further analyses have been made, a more accurately balanced ration can be fed in the state than has hitherto been Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station.
