FEEDING VALUE OF CEREALS. 



TABLE XXXIII. Proso, sorghum, and maize analyses average results for the United 



States. 



[Pounds per hundred pounds of dry matter.] 



MAIZE (Zea mays}. 



The analyses of maize given in the tables were made for another 

 study, but they have been used here for the purpose of comparison 

 and because no samples of this cereal were included among those 

 first examined for the present investigation. 



A comparison of the analyses reported in this bulletin with those 

 given by the Bureau of Chemistry in previous bulletins and with 

 those reported by Konig is given in Table XXXIV.
