A determination of the proximate constituents of the dried leaves,stalks, and bagasse, is given below, from which it Avill appear thatthere still remains a large amount of sugar in the bagasse, which theprocess employed failed to remove from the stalks ; also that the percent of starch compounds is greater in the pressed than in the un-pressed stalks, and that the i>ercentage of nitrogenous matter remainsnearly the same. The nutritive value of the pressed stalks is nearly,if not quite, equal to that of the unpressed stalks, weight for weight. 406 SORGHUM.
