ANALYSIS OF CORN COBS 
OUE NEW AUTUMN CATALOGUE 
Considerable discussion has recently | 
arisen in Agricultural journals and. at farm¬ 
ers’ meetings upon the nutritive value of 
corn cobs when ground and fed to nniumls. 
It is a very common practice among farmers 
to griud the whole ear of corn, and feed Lho 
product to milk cows, working oxen and of¬ 
ten to horses. This plan we have adopted 
to a considerable extent at our own farm, 
but wo have had some misgivings as to the 
utility or advisability of the practice. 
With the view of ascertaining as nearly as 
practicable the exact nutritive value of 
cobs, we selected a nice ear of Lalccshine 
corn from a bundle hanging in our count¬ 
ing room, and removing the kernels, sub¬ 
jected the cob to analysis. It gave of—

Carbohydrates, fat ami albuminoids. M U

The amount of fat was not accurately de¬ 
termined; but it was proved to be more 
than one per cent. The amount of water is 
probably smaller than it would have been 
had the corn been taken directly from the 
grain house instead of the warm room in 
which it had been hanging for some weeks.
