ANALYSIS OF UKV MATTEll.

 The general appearance of the ensilage was good. The small 

 amount of soluble non-nitrogenous matter in presence of a compara- 

 tively large amount of crude nitrogenous matter and of crude cellu- 

 lose seems to indicate a considerable destruction of non-nitrogenous 

 matter (sugar, starch, etc.) during the keeping of the corn in the 

 silo. The comi)ositiou of this sample of ensilage of sweet corn re- 

 sembles that obtained from corn in the tassel. 



A comparison of the above analysis with some of the analyses of 

 the dry vegetable matter of corn ensilage produced at the Exijeriment 

 Station during previous years suggests that conclusion.
