GENERAL OUTLOOK. 



Aside from the inconveniences caused hy the burning of its barns, 

 the work of the New York State Station has progressed satisfactorily 

 during the past year. Some of the completed lines of work are as 

 follows: A stud}' of phosphorus in feeding stufis, showing that there 

 wa.s no inorganic phosphorus in the feeds examined; a study of the role 

 of lactic-acid bacteria in the early'stages of cheese ripening, and the 

 development of a meth(Kl for the control of rust}' spot in cheese fac- 

 tories; the determination of the nature of the Cephalothecium rot of 

 the apple and of a remedy for it; a test of the removal of aflected 

 leaves for the treatment of cal)l)age rot, which has proven inefl'ective; 

 studies of cheese ripening showing the existence of acid salts of ])ara- 

 casein and casein, thus giving an explanation of many features in the 

 process of ripening Cheddar cheese; the elaboration of methods for 

 the estimation of proteolytic compounds in milk and cheese; the dis-
