REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE. 



was slightly decreased and that of fat increased by the ensilage diet. 

 With Kitty the ensilage diet appeared to increase the sugar, but to 

 diminish the fat. A much larger number of determinations, however, 

 must be made before any definite statement concerning the effects of 

 the ensilage diet can be made. Much, indeed, depends on the character 

 of the ensilage food. This is so variable that in all experiments the en- 

 silage employed should be subjected to frequent examination. 



Analyses of the ensilage employed will be found in a subsequent 

 part of this report. 



Analyses of milk from W. Blair's cows.
