Summary

Ten fully grown Border Leicester-Cheviot ewes were divided into two groups of five; the heavier ones being about 150 lb. live weight, and the lighter ones about 70 lb. The former were placed on a low plane of nutrition, and the latter on a high plane. As the weights changed by successive amounts of 20 lb. animals were killed and dissected, and their organs and tissues weighed.
