fatty acids and soluble non-nitrogenous extract matter. The 

 nutritive ratio of the fodder corn was but slightly altered. 

 A sample of the corn ensilage, taken from two feet below 

 the surface, near the centre of the silo, contained 32.46 parts 

 of dry mai^ter, 0.0185 parts of actual ammonia, and required 

 0.659 milligrams of sodkim oxide for the neutralization of 

 its acids (acetic and lactic acids). An average sample of 

 the ensilage sensed for the analysis below reported.
