104 THE CONNECTICUT AGRICULTUKAL 



* 



"From this it appears that 34 lbs. of ensilage is 12 per cent, 

 better than 14 lbs. of hay. The hay, at |12 per ton, cost 8.4 ; 

 ensilage, at |3 per ton, cost 5.1. Making allowance for the 12 

 per cent, better result, we have 9.4 cents hay = 5.1 cents ensilage. 



"Th?s shows also that 2^ lbs. of ensilage will more than replace 

 1 lb. of hay; for, reduce 34 lbs. by 12 per cent. = 30 lbs. and 30 

 lbs. then would equal 14 lbs. hay, or 1 lb. hay = 2\ ensilage." 



Analyses of Hat and Stover. 



The subjoined partial analyses made for Prof. Armsby on 

 samples sent by him from the Storrs Agricultural School are here 

 put on record. They confirm the formerly published results of 

 similar analyses. The low content of albuminoids in the timothy 

 and red-top is especially noticeable.

Analysis. 



Water-free. 



Water, 10.33 



Ash, 9.62 10.70 



Albuminoids, -.. 11.43 12.74 



Crude Fiber, 9.93 11.03 



N. fr. Extract (carbhydrates), 47.20 52.72 



Fat 11.49 12.81 



100.000 100.00 



The composition of this Kice Feed is very near that of average 

 oats or the best maize in respect to albuminoids. It has three 

 times the ash of oats, twice the fat, the same amount of fiber, and 

 fourteen per cent, less carbhydrate. The less carbhydrates are 

 about compensated by the more fat.
