The percentage recovered with swine is larger than with sheep and calves. This would seem to indicate that swine digest and assimi- late a larger amount of the carbohydrates and a less amount, taken together, of the other constituents, than either sheep or calves do. The amount of fer- tilizing elements recovered is dependent on so many conditions, as the power to assimilate food, the age and species, and the kind and quantity of surplus products produced by the animal, that only a general average can be reached, which must be amended as experiments throw more light on the subject.
