Just as the animal body is made up of varying proportions of flesh, fats, water and bone, so a plant is made up of various similar substances from which this flesh, fat and bone are made. These component parts of the plant represent a large number of chemical compounds. For our discussion, however, they are grouped together under a few gen- eral heads and in two great classes. I. Organic compounds. A. Nitrogenous. I. Protein. B. Non-nitrogenous. 1. Fat. 2. Carbohydrates. (a) Soluble carbohydrates or nitrogen free extract. (b) Insoluble carbohydrates or crude fiber. II. Inorganic compounds. A. Ash. B. Water. As each of these groups has its specific part to play in the build- ing up of the animal body, they will here be discussed separately. ORGANIC COMPOUNDS.—Protein. The beneficial results following the use of oil meal, bran, clover and alfalfa hay, we know,.
