In England, the percentage of water in well-made hay is about 16, and liay artificially dried will absorb that amount, if exposed again to the air. I do not think the I)ercentage here would be so large, for obvious reasons, in the analysis of the hay of tlie reed canary grass, made by Professor Horsford, and given on a preceding page, the percentage was but That was a well- cured specimen, taken after it had ])assed tlie period of blossoming, and the amount of water is, perhaps, slightly below the average. It will be seen that a great difference exists in the valuable constituents of tiie urasses. Lowi'st. IIi(ihest. Flesh-forming principles, .... Fat-producing principles, ....
