These analyses give a good idea of a well-kept silo- 

 product. To determine the exact amount of loss incurred 

 by the operation cannot be definitely stated, without having 

 a chance to assist in the preparation of the samples ; the 

 acid reaction of the ensilage points towards a loss of 

 saccharine constituents. The corn ought to be weighed 

 •when entering the silo, as well as the ensilage.
