the silage will be taken for analysis and thus furnish us some 
information as to the changes which have taken place in the two 
lots in the silo. Although the last corn was allowed to stand 
18 days longer than the first, yet the total weight per acre 
was 315 pounds. less than on September 11, but if we consider 
the amount of water then the dry matter shows in favor of the

last cutting by 656 pounds. In the ash we find there was a gain 
of 22 pounds, but the main increase comes upon the 
nitrogen-free extract, there being an increase of 413 pounds. The 
nitrogen made no gain, there, being found less by three pounds

in the Neck cutting than there was September 11, but this is a 
difference of less than one-tenth of one per centin the dry substance 
so we may feel warranted in saying there was no increase in the 
albuminoids of our crop from September 11 to September 29,

HAYS FROM DIFFERENT LOCALITIES. 
I have already pointed out a difference in the chemical composi- 
tion of timothy hays from different parts of the country,* and the 
- present year the examination of the hays from Wisconsin, Maine, 
New Hampshire and New York grown in the same places as those 
of the previous year has been continued. For these samples I 
am indebted to Dr. S. M. Babcock, of the Agricultural Experiment 
Station at the University of Wisconsin; to Professor W. H. 
Jordan, of the Maine Experiment Station, and to Professor G. H. 
Witcher, of the New Hampshire Experiment Station.
