- RESULTS OF ANALYSES OF FODDERS AND FEEDING 
SLUFFS. 
BY CHAS. Ds WOODS. 

In connection with the work of the Station, analyses of the 
following miscellaneous feeding stuffs have been made by the 
Station chemists. For the most part the analyses were made 
in connection with feeding experiments or experiments upon 
the growth of plants. In no case were they undertaken 
merely to increase the amount of this class of data. The 
methods of analyses recommended by the Association of Official 
Agricultural Chemists were employed. 
The results of the analyses as calculated to water content at 
harvest or at the time of analyses are given in table 64, page 
180, which follows the description of samples. In this table 
the materials are grouped somewhat according to their water 
content at time of taking samples, as follows: Green fodders; 
silage; cured hay and fodder; grain; and milling products. 
This order is also observed in the description of samples. 
The results calculated to water-free substance (dry matter) 
as the basis are given in table 65, page 183. 
The fuel value of a pound of each of the feeding stuffs as 
given in the tables was obtained by multiplying the number of 
hundredths of a pound of protein and of carbohydrates by 
18.6, and the number of hundredths of a pound of fat by 42.2, 
and taking the sum of these three products as the number of 
calories of potential energy in the materials.* 
DESCRIPTION OF SAMPLES. 
In the description of samples the order of arrangement is 
the same as in the tables. 
GREEN FODDERS. 
1533, 1534, Barley.—Grown by the Station in 1895. The samples were 
taken August 15 and 19, at which time the heads were about three-fourths 
grown and were green and succulent. ‘The samples were selected from barley 
and pea fodder. About 47 per cent. of the fodder was barley.
