RESULTS OF ANALYSES OF FODDERS AND FEEDING 
STUFFS. 
BY GRAS. Di 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 Agricul- 
tural 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 1, page 21, 
which follows the description of samples. In this table the ma- 
terials 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 descriptions of samples. 
The results calculated to water-free substance (dry matter) as 
the basis are given in table 2, page 23. 
The fuel value of a pound of each of the feeding stuffs as given 
in the tables was obtained by multiplying the number of hun- 
dredths 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. 
1359-1362, Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata),—Grown in the grass garden 
of the Station in 1894. The samples were all taken June 18th, at which time the
