1. AVERAGE COMPOSITION OF AMERICAN FEEDING- 

 STUFFS 



The figures in the following table have been taken 

 from Bulletin No. 11, Office of Experiment Stations; 

 Farmers' Bulletin No. 22, United States Department of 

 Agriculture; Bulletin No. 81, Vermont Agricultural 

 Experiment Station, and Bulletin No. 166, New York 

 Agricultural Experiment Station (Geneva). 



The percentages given represent averages from which 

 there are material variations. These variations are 

 mostly due to differences in the water-content, the in- 

 fluence of locality and of the stage of growth and the 

 changes brought about by the methods and conditions 

 of curing. They are not so large and important with 

 the grains as with the fodders. 



A more complete table of the composition of feeding- 

 stuffs is to be found in Henry & Morrison's "Feeds and 

 Feedings," the edition of 1915. The figures given in the
