Supplement to the "Tropical Agriculturist.'* [Feb. 1, 1902. 
In cereals and pulses it includes principally 
starch, but in other cases, such as some of 
the oil seeds, there is but little starch ; its place 
being taken by such substances as pectin or 
mucilage. 
Woody Fibre. — This includes principally cellu- 
lose, but any lignin which is present in the grain 
or fodder is included. 
Soluble Mineral Matter. — Most of the samples 
were very clean and free from earthy admixture. 
But since some extraneous earth was usually 
present and difficult to remove thoroughly, the 
soluble part of the " ash " or mineral matter has 
been stated separately, and the other insoluble 
portion, which consists principally of the silica 
natural to the grain or fodder has been entered in 
the next column. Usually grain contains very 
little silica, and if any earthy matter was adhering 
to the sample, its presence is at once indicated. 
But the straws and grasses contain high propor- 
tions of silica as an integral part of their normal 
composition. Eirth or dust also usually adheres 
to these fodders, which is oiily partially removed 
on the threshing floor. Information regarding the 
composition of the ash will be supplied later.
