COMFOSIIION AND DIGESTION TABLES 



1. Average composition of American feeding stuffs 



(pp. 419-427). 



2. Average coefficients of digestion (pp. 427-435). 



3. Feeding standards (pp. 435-438). 



4. Fertilizing constituents of American feeding stuffs 



(pp. 439-443). 



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, U. S. Department of Agricul- 

 ture; Henry's Feeds and Feeding, Bulletin No. 81, Ver- 

 mont Agricultural Experiment Station, and Bulletin No. 

 1G6, New York State Agricultural Experiment Station. 



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 as large and important with 

 the grains as with the fodders.
