this a sub-sample was taken. The corn used in making the 

 ensilage was the large dent variety; it was cut late, when the 

 ears were well glazed. The soy beans were the yellow variety; 

 there was a good growth, with pods well formed, when har- 

 vested. One load of beans was put into the silo for every two 

 loads of corn.
