The clovers are far the richest in albuminoids of any of the 
hays, and a larger per cent of their albuminoids are digest- 
ible. Of the true grass family, so far as examined, the di- 
gestion coefficient does not vary far from 70 per cent. 
Many farmers have considered ox-eye daisies as making 
a fairly good hay when cut early in bloom, but by analysis 
we find them inferior to the grasses, while the amount of 
albuminoids digested is very small, being but 2s per cent., 
little more than one-fourth of the total nitrogenous matter, 
and less than one-half the amount of any of the grasses. 
Hence how unprofitable it is to allow fiélds to produce a 
crop of these when there are so many valuable grasses 
which might be grown. 
_Buttercups are richer in albuminoids and nearly twice as 
digestible as the daisies. 
The Soja hispida bean is the most highly nitrogenous of 
any of the vegetable foods analyzed, and no feed digested 
has as yet given so large a digestion coefficient ; i. e., 95.32 
per cent., while for the whole plant a digestion coefficient 
of 75.92 was obtained. 
But a small per cent of the albuminoids of wheat straw 
was digested—25.27 per cent. The straw was of inferior 
quality, taken from a stack in the field during winter.
