pentaglucoses are not present to the same extent as in the 
alfalfa and other leguminous hays. 
In the usual fodder analysis the two most striking 
points are the high percentages of crude fiber and nitrogen- 
free extract. In the second analysis the most remarkable 
percentages given are for the cellulose and those things 
embraced under the term “not determined,” which includes 
substances soluble in dilute acid and dilute alkali, but in- 
soluble in alcohol and water. The portion soluble in alcohol 
and water is low and a large portion of the 40.3 per cent, 
nitrogen-free extract is included in the 36 per cent, “not de- 
termined.” 
In order that the comparison of these analyses may be 
facilitated, we bring them together in the following table :

Soluble in alcohol, sugar, etc., dedutced. 
Soluble in water, dextrin, etc., deducted.

d'his shows the pea-vine hay to contain the largest per- 
centage of proteids, with the highest co-efficient of digestion, 
with the alfalfa next in both respects. The pea-vine hay has 
the lowest percentage of cellulose and the upland hay the 
highest ; in this respect the pea-vine and clover hays stand 
quite apart from both the alfalfa and upland hays. The
