The height of a bar gives the percent of each fiber in total organic matter. The horizontal legends name the fibers, which are arranged in decreasing percentage from left to right. The graph on the ex- treme right gives nondigestible organic matter, also in percent of total organic matter. Each vertical legend between the bar graphs indicates in a general way the constituents that have been removed in some quantity in the production of the fiber to its right as compared with the one to its left. The percentages of the same kind of fiber in four forages may be compared with the percentages of nondigestible matter. Further explanation is given in the text, p. 43. Some authors (6) have proposed that cellulose replace crude fiber as the criterion of digestibility in forages. These results show no advantage of cellulose over crude fiber for that purpose, but on the other hand they do not show any serious disadvantage. Considering the greater ease and rapidity of the analytical procedure for cellulose as compared with crude fiber, there is no reason why cellulose (true cellulose) could not replace crude fiber, but for this reason only.
