The results obtained the present season are the exact opposite 
of those for 1887. The plats of grass in an adjoining field of 
similar soil were treated in the same manner as those of the 
previous season, and we find differences in the chemical composi- 
tion of the grasses no less marked than was the influence of the 
fertilizers on the yield. Whenever a nitrogenous fertilizer was 
used there was a considerable increase in the albuminoids of the 
hay. To show plainly the difference let us bring together here 
the per cent of albuminoids in the dry substance of the hay and 
the kind of fertilizer used upon the several plats:
