value of the protein constituents of silage, a fact not borne out by 

 direct feeding tests. (655) 



388. Digestibility of silage and fodder corn. The studies of the 

 chemists on this subject have been arranged by Woll 1 in the fol- 

 lowing table: 



Average digestion coefficients for corn silage and green and cured fod- 

 der corn Arranged by Woll. 



So far as this table shows, there is no appreciable difference in 

 the digestibility of corn silage and dry fodder corn, both being 

 somewhat less digestible than green fodder. 



389. Yield of milk per hundred pounds of dry matter. At 

 several Stations feeding trials were so conducted that a compari- 

 son can be made of the yield of milk from the same quantity of 

 dry matter fed in silage and dry corn fodder respectively. 



Milk produced from dry matter in silage and dry fodder corn Vari-

Reviewing the table we observe that excepting the first and 

 second trials there were larger returns of milk, when feeding a
