Thelargest losses are in October and August. 5. The ash is also decreased in parts of the season. In middle-seasonlosses are from to is increased, however, at the begin-ning and end of the season from to percent. 6. The carbohydrates are decreased from to percent, the max-imum loss coming in July, May, however, shows an increase of percent. 7. For the first half of the season, it appears that the nutritiveratio is narrowed about fveom. For the last half it will be notedthat no effect is apparent in August and October, while the ratio is wider for September. * The Influence of Manure 1. Manure increases the yield from to percent. The largeslgains are in May, July and 109- 2. The dry matter is decreased by manuring. Smallest decrease inJuly,( percent) increasing steadily to end of the season, ( percentfor October.) May shows an increase of percent,with June a decreaseof percent. It will be seen therefore that manuring has a markedeffect upon the succulency of the grass. 3. The protein is increased for the first two months from to , and decreased the remainder of the season. On the water free basishowever, the protein increases steadily throughout the season. Startingwith and ending with percent. 4. The ether extract is increased the first two months from percent and decreased the remainder of the season from to per-cent. 5. The ash cortent of the grass is increased in May, July, August to percent and decreased in June, September and October from percent. 6. T
