Report of the Assistant Chemist of the 
AVERAGE COMPOSITION OF FODDERS. 
During the past six years a large number of feeding-stuffs have been 
analyzed, the results of which are scattered through the several reports. 
That the results of these analyses may be more easy of access, and that 
general averages and variations may be shown, we give, in condensed 
form, a table showing the average composition, as determined from the 
number of analyses made at this Station, of all those products which are 
of general interest. 
In this table the maximum and minimum are given, together with 
the averages. The grasses which were analyzed in their fresh state 
have also had the analyses calculated to the average water composition 
of hay. A large number of analyses of no special interest, as well as 
many partial analyses, are not included in these tables.
