seed was just beginning to form. No. 1359 was grown without the use of 
fertilizers. Growth light and spindly; pale colored. No. 1360 was from a 
plot to which there were applied dissolved bone-black at the rate of 320 pounds : 
per acre and muriate of potash at the rate of 160 pounds. Growth much 3 
resembled that of 1359. No. 1361 was grown on a plot to which mixed ~~ 
minerals were applied as in 1360 and had in addition 160 pounds of nitrate of 
soda per acre. The grass was of good color and the growth was much heavier 
than that of 1359 and 1360. No. 1362 was grown on a plot to which 
mixed minerals were applied as in 1360 and had in addition 480 pounds of 
nitrate of soda. Heavy, dense growth of good color. 
1351-1354, Zall Meadow Fescue Grass (Festuca elatior).—Grown in the 
grass garden of the Station in 1894. The samples were taken June 27th, 
at which time seed was beginning to form. No. 1351 was from a plot without 
fertilizers. Light, spindly growth of pale color. No. 1352 was from a plot to 
which there were applied dissolved bone-black at the rate of 320 pounds per 
acre and muriate of potash at the rate of 160 pounds. Growth resembled that 
of 1351. No. 1353 was grown on a plot to which mixed minerals were applied 




















as in 1352 and had in addition 160 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre. Quite oy 
heavy growth of fair color. The bottom growth was quite thick. No. 1354 i 
was grown on a plot to which mixed minerals were applied as in 1352 and had % 
in addition 480 pounds of nitrate of soda. Heavy, dense growth of dark green : 
color. Under growth thick. - 
1347-1350, Zall Meadow Oat Grass (Avena elatior).—Grown in Station 
grass garden in 1894. Samples were taken June 18th, at which time seed was 
beginning to form. No. 1347 was grown without the use of fertilizers. Light, 
spindly growth of pale color. No. 1348 was from a plot to which there were 
applied dissolved bone-black at the rate of 320 pounds per acre and muriate of 
potash at the rate of 160 pounds. Growth resembled 1347 except grass was a 
little more mature. No. 1349 was grown on a plot to which mixed minerals 
were applied as in 1348 and had in addition 160 pounds of nitrate of soda per 
acre. Fair growth of good color. No. 1350 was grown on a plot to which 
mixed minerals were applied as in 1348 and had in addition 480 pounds of 
nitrate of soda. Thick, heavy growth of good color. 
1355-1358, Zimothy (Phleum pratense ),.—Grown in the Station grass garden 
in 1894. The samples were taken July 3, 1894, at which time the grass was 
just past full bloom.’ No. 1355 was grown without the use of fertilizers. 
Light, thin growth. No. 1356 was from a plot to which there were applied 
dissolved bone-black at the rate of 320 pounds per acre and muriate of potash 
_at the rate of 160 pounds. Growth much like that of 1355. No. 1357 was 
grown on a plot to which mixed minerals’ were applied as in 1356 and had in 
addition 160 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre. Quite heavy growth. No. 
1358 was grown On a plot to which mixed minerals were applied as in 1356 and 
had in addition 480 pounds of nitrate of soda. Heavy, dense growth. 
1370, 1372, 1374, 1376, Barley Fodder:—As used in digestion experiments.* 
The samples were taken from the field from October 8th to October 15th. No.
