86 AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. [Jan. 



Corn Ensilage. 



[Sent on from Marblehead, Mass.] 



Both samples of ensilage, it is stated, were planted and 

 harvested at the same time ; both had their kernels fully de- 

 veloped, just past the milky state, when they were put into 

 a silo, Sept. 20 to 30, 1887. No. I. is from '* Stowell's 

 Evergreen Sweet," and No. II. from common " Southern 

 White" corn. 



Ensilage No. I. shows a larger percentage of nitrogenous 

 and non-nitrogenous matter than No. II., yet it was of a 

 decidedly inferior general state of preservation when re- 

 ceived at our office. Whether this circumstance applies to 

 the entire contents of each silo, or is merely of an accidental 

 nature, we are unable to decide.
