ANALYSES OF SAMPLES OF FEEDING STUFFS COL- 

 LECTED DURING 1900-1901. 



In the tables which follow may be seen the percentages of 

 protein and fat, and in some cases of crude fiber, in the samples 

 collected. Only determinations of protein and fat are required, 

 but the proportion of crude fiber has been ascertained as an aid 

 in deciding as to the use of oat hulls in a certain class of mix- 

 tures. 



The number and character of the samples taken may be seen 

 in the succeeding classified table.
