Further Notes on the Che7iiical Coiri'position of Ensilage. 283 



The results of the analysis, if calculated on the nitrogen 

 present in the sample after drying, would be — 



Whilst taking into consideration the various points stated 



in this paper, the analysis of the material as received would 



be— 



Analysis of Ensilage. 



{As Received.) 



Moisture, . 

 Ether Extract, . 

 Albumenoids, etc., 

 Carbohydrates, etc., 

 Woody Fibre, . 

 Mineral Matter, 

 Ammonia Butyrate, 

 Butyric Acid (Free), 

 Ammonia Lactate, 

 Lactic Acid (Free), 



These results calculated to the dry material give —

Eecapitulation. — These results show — 



1. That the nitrogen present in the fresh sample does not 

 represent the albumenoids. 



2. That nitrogen is present as a volatile combination. 



3. That nitrogen is present as a fixed salt.
