+ 20 oats in crop. 



1 36 oats in crop; 10 in stomach. 

 SUMMARY. 



{ 34 oats in crop. 



The 522 stomachs examined at the Department of Agriculture gave 

 the following results : 



Wheat was found in 22 stomachs, oats in 327, corn (maize) in 71, fruit 

 seed (mainly of mulberries) in 57, grass seed in 102, weed seed in 85, unde- 

 termined vegetable matter in 219, bread, rice, etc., in 19, noxious insects 

 in 47, beneficial insects in 50, insects of no economic importance in 31. 



Doubtless most of the oats found iu the stomachs were obtained from 

 horse droppings, and some of the undetermined vegetable matter was 

 from the same source,,
