CURED FODDERS. 
Of the following cured fodders Nos. 6022-6031 and Nos. 6033-6042 were 
from the special nitrogen experiments of 1898, and Nos. 6091-6110 were from 
the same experiments of 1899. The samples of stover were taken just after the 
corn was husked and the stover was. weighed. In 1898 a large sample of 
stover was taken from each plot by gathering small quantities from different — 
parts of the total crop on the plot. These were cut into pieces one to two 
inches long, which were then thoroughly mixed, and from different parts of the 
whole mass a smaller sub-sample was taken, which was weighed and dried in 
the steam drier. In 1899 the entire crop of stover on each plot was cut into 
_ small pieces and mixed, and from this a sub-sample was taken. 
Nos. 6022-6031, 6073-6042. Stover of white flint corn,—Grown in 1898. 
Nos. 6022-6031 were from plots on the north side of the field, on which lime 
was applied in addition to the regular fertilizers. Nos. 6033-6042 were from 
plots on the south side of the field on which the fertilizers were applied without 
the lime. The dates of taking the samples were as follows: Nos. 6034, 6035, 
6036, 6040 on November 11; Nos. 6033, 6037, 6041 on November 14; Nos. 
6022, 6030, 6031, 6038, 6039 on November 16; and Nos. 6023 to 6029, 
inclusive, on November 17. 
Nos. 6022 and 6023 were from plots oo ando. The growth on plot o was 
small, spindled, pale in color, with few ears; mostly ‘‘ poor” or unmerchant- 
able corn. On plot oo the stalks were small and slender, ears small, corn 
mostly poor or unmerchantable. 
Nos. 6024 and 6025 were from plots 6a and 64. Stalks were small and 
slender, pale in color; small proportion of merchantable ears. 
No. 6026 was from plot 7. Growth better than on plot 6; stalks medium in 
size, color fair, ears and total crop rather light. 
No. 6027 was from plot 8. Growth and color of stalks fair, with fair pro- 
portion of ears; better crop than on plot 7. 
No. 6028 was from plot 9. Growth of stalks quite heavy and of good color. 
Fair growth of ears, 
No. 6029 was from plot 10. Fair sized stalks of good color; fair proportion 
of good or merchantable ears. Growth was considerably better than that on 
plot 7, and much better than that on corresponding plot on south end of field.
