APPENDIX 



TABLE I. AVERAGE PERCENTAGE COMPOSITION OF AMERICAN FEEDING 



STUFFS 



This table is an exhaustive compilation, made by F. B. Morrison, of the analyses 

 of feeding stuffs reported by the State Experiment Stations and the United States 

 Department of Agriculture. The preparation of this table and Appendix Tables II and 

 III required the time of trained assistants equivalent to one person working steadily 

 for three years, in addition to the supervision of the author. The completeness of the 

 data is evident from the fact that over 53,000 analyses have been gathered into this 

 table. The value of the averages here given is shown by the large number of complete 

 analyses combined for the leading feeding stuffs. For example, 2,556 complete analyses 

 enter into the average for choice cottonseed meal, 4,641 for standard wheat mid- 

 dlings, 7,742 for wheat bran, etc. 



When possible, separate averages are given for forage crops at different stages of ma- 

 turity and with different contents of water, for high- and low-grade feeds of the same 

 name, etc. For reasons given in the text, averages for the various proprietary mixed 

 feeds are not here given. (288) The figures for a few feeds, for which American analyses 

 are not available, have been taken from foreign sources. Where the scientific names 

 of plants are given in the text, they are not repeated in this table, for they may be 

 readily found by referring to the index. In other instances the scientific names of the 

 plants are here given.
