[Report on feeding stufEs], N. W. Gilbert et al. (Philippine Agr. Rev. 

 [English Ed.], 4 (1911), No. 8, pp. Jf29-Jt66, pis. 2).— This consists of extracts 

 from a report of a board appointed by the Secretary of War to investigate and 

 report on the present cost of forage crops for the use of the army in the Phil- 

 ippine Islands. It contains a list of the common feeding stuffs, data as to the 

 amount and value of feeds imported, the cost of the daily feed of horses in 

 private and in government stables, and a discussion of the value of native and 

 imported feeds. 



From feeding tests with horses and mules which were undertaken to deter- 

 mine the value of feeds which can be produced in the islands it is concluded 

 that either native ci'acked corn or native palay can be fed in lieu of a portion of 

 the oats now used ; the best mixture appears to be 5 lbs. of oats and 4 lbs. of 

 the cracked corn or palay per day. The palay was not found as palatable, as 

 nutritious, or as safe, however, as the cracked corn. Native green forage 

 (barit, barili, luyaluya, guinea grass, or green corn fodder) can be fed ini lieu 

 of a portion of the hay allowance when it can be procured in sufficient quanti- 

 ties and at profitable prices. The army has been feeding these green forages 

 wherever possible for a considerable time. Cured and baled native corn-blade 

 fodder, baled guinea hay or baled Rhodes gi*ass hay can be grown successfully 

 and used in lieu of American hay, but at the present time it is impossible to 

 procure them, although efforts are being made to develop the industry. 



Special feeding stuff analyses, 1910, E. E. Rose and E. P. Greene (Fla. 

 Quart. Bui. Dept. Agr., 21 (1911), No. 1, pp. 83-102). — These analyses include 

 velvet beans, beggarweed hay, giant millet, maiden cane hay, kudzu hay, alfalfa 

 meal, dried molasses beet pulp, bran, middlings, ship stuff, oats, cotton-seed meal, 

 gluten feed, blood meal, rice bran, and proprietary feeds. 



The feeding-stuffs inspection for 1911, B. E. Curry and T. O. Smith (New 

 Hampshire Sta. Bnl. lo'i. pp. 8). — The percentage of protein and fat and the 

 retail price per 100 lbs. of the following feeds are reported : Cotton-seed meal, 

 gluten feed, beef scraps, animal meal, ground fish scraps, bone and meat meal, 

 molasses feed, brewers' grain, hominy feed, linseed meal, dried-beet pulp, and 

 proprietary mixed feeds. 



The text of the amended state feeding stuffs law is also given.
