BABBOTT FEED. 
An analysis and digestion test of . two samples of these 
feeds have been made. No. 1 was said to contain 91 per 
‘cent. corn meal and 9 per cent malt. No. 2 was said to be 
75 per ceut. corn meal and 25 per cent. of other grains in- 
cluding malt. 
We give below the analyses of both for dry substance and 
calculated to actual water content.

NOTES ON TABLE NO 1. 
It is noticeable that the per cent. of albuminoids in the 
grasses are rather lower on the whole than are usually 
assigned. I think this is due mainly to the sampling. The 
tendency is towards a better sample than the average, and 
the bulk of all the analyses of the grasses have been mado 
by chemists from samples sent in to them by ‘persons in 
different parts of the country. The analyses here given 
are from samples taken by myself in the field and are as 
fair an average of the plats from which they were taken as 
was possible to secure. | 
The grasses were cut for analyses during the latter period 
of bloom and were all at about the same stage of growth 
and include the whole plant. A part of those given in the 
last report have been included in this and are starred.
