. Grasses and forage plants, by J.B. Killebrew. Memphis markets was fat-tened on nimble will. On limestone lands thinly wooded and where bluegrass has not already obtained possession, nimble will furnishes goodpasturage for five or six months in the year. Dr. Gattinger. on the con- 137 trary, thinks all species of the Muhlenbergia make very poor forage andare not eaten by stock unless they are compelled to do so by the absenceof more nutritious grasses. The writer is inclined to think that the qual-ity of this grass is affected by the soil upon which it grows. Mexican Muhlenbergia is another species that is highly commendedby some writers. Dr. C. E. Bessey, of Nebraska, says this grass hasbeen known in the West for many years as a valuable one. Chemicalanalyses, he continues, show that Muhlenberg grass is highly nutritious.In the years 1878 and 1879, at my suggestion, Mr.W.K.Robinson, a grad-uate of the Iowa Agricultural College, made analyses of this grass, withresults which showed that in nutritiousness it ranked with red top and. Nimble Will—Muhlenbergia diffusa. blue grass, and, in some instances, timothy. More recent analyses bythe government chemist at Washington make a still better showing.Taking an average of the analyses I find the following results: Timothy contains 4 1-3 per cent, of albuminoids. Orchard grass contains G 1-2 per cent, of albuminoids. Red top contains G 2-3 per cent, of albuminoids. Blue grass contains 8 per cent, of albuminoids. Muhlenberg grass contains 17 2-5 per cent, of albuminoids. That is, Muhlenberg grass is more than twice as nutritious, weightfor weight, as blue grass. It is nearly three times as nutritious as redtop and orchard grass, and about four times as nutritious as timothy.Now I would not for a moment be understood as considering these analyses as settling the relative merits of these grasses. It is well known, however, that the analysis of a grass is one of the important factors indetermining its value, and I bring it i
