ANALYSES OF FODDERS AND FEEDING STUFFS. 



In connection with the work of the Station, analyses of the 

 following miscellaneous feeding stuffs have been made by the 

 Station chemists. For the most part the analyses were made 

 in connection with the feeding experiments or experiments upon 

 the growth of plants. In no case were they undertaken merely 

 to increase the amount of this class of data. The methods of 

 analyses recommended by the Association of Official Agricul- 

 tural Chemists were employed. 



The results of the analyses are given in the tables which 

 follow:
