Industrial by-products of feeding stuffs, L. Wutts and F. Courtoy (Jour. 

 Soc. Agr. Brabant ct Ilaiiiaut, 56 {1911), Nos. 7, pp. SJf, 85; 8, pp. 99, 100; 9, pp. 

 Its, ll-'i). — These articles discuss the feeding value of gluten meal, cotton-seed 

 cake, peanut cake, dried yeast, sugar-beet pulp, molasses, and cacao shells. 



Stack ensilag'e (Queensland Agr. Jour., 21 (1911), No. 5, pp. 218, 219). — 

 Directions are given for making ensilage out of doors, thus dispensing with 

 the cost of erecting a silo. This method seems to be popular in Australia, 

 although there is always more or less loss of food material. 



Feeding experiments with, ground grapevine trimmings, O. von Czadek 

 (Ztschr. Landw. Versuchsw. Ostcrr., 11^ (1911), No. 9, pp. 1104-1122).— Feeding 

 tests with horses, cows, and draft oxen showed that the feeding value of trim- 

 mings from 1-year wood of grapevines was inferior in feeding value to that of 

 straw. An analysis is given. 



Further investigations on the digestibility of dried potatoes, F. Honcamp, 

 B. GscHWENDNER, and D. Engbebding (Jour. Landw., 58 (1910), No. 4, PP- 

 363-384). — Dried potatoes in the form of flakes, chips, and pressed potatoes 

 were fed to wethers in connection with clover hay and sesame cake. The 

 average digestion coefficients of the jwtatoes were as follows: Pressed potatoes 

 (papka), organic matter 87, nitrogen-free extract 95.6, and fiber 7.5 per cent; 

 potato flakes, organic matter 89; protein 37.1, and nitrogen-free extract 94.6 

 per cent; potato chips, organic matter 87.1, protein 36.1, nitrogen-free extract 

 92.9, and fiber 48.7 per cent; a second brand of potato chii)s, organic matter 

 86.5, protein 44.2, nitrogen-free extract 95.4, and fiber 22.7 per cent; a third 

 bx'and of potato chips, organic matter 87.7, protein 32.3, and nitrogen-free extract 

 96.3 per cent; and potato pulp, organic matter 81.6, nitrogen-free extract 90.4, 

 and fiber 36.5 per cent. 



Green color of rape-seed or colza cakes, L. Bussaed (Ann. Falsif., 4 (1911), 

 No. 28, pp. 75-77; abs. in Analyst, 36 (1911), No. 425, p. 411).— The author 

 found that Indian rape-seed cake was frequently treated with from 0.75 to 1 

 per cent of sodium carbonate in order to simulate the green color of the Euro- 

 pean cake. The European colza is Brassica oleracea, but the Indian colza 

 cake includes B. juncea, Sinapis dichonita, 8. glauca, Eruca sativa, and other 

 Cruciferse. 



Composition and feed value of rice by-products, J. E. Halligan (Amer. 

 Hay, Flour, and Feed Jour., 20 (1912), No. 2, pp. 20-22). — This contains statis- 

 tics on the rice industry, a description of the processes of milling rice, analyses 

 of rice and its products, a discussion of the feeding value, and sample rations 

 for stock in which rice products are a prominent ingredient. 



Beport on cattle feeding experiments with soy-bean cake, W. Beuce 

 (Edinh. and, East of Scot. Col. Agr. Rpt. 25, 1911, pp. 16). — Feeding tests simi- 

 lar to those previously reported (E. S. R., 24, p. 371) indicate that soy-bean 

 cake, when used as a supplement to feeding stufl's in bullock fattening to the 

 extent of from 4 to 5 lbs. daily, is a healthful cattle food and a satisfactory 

 beef producer, but weight for weight is not equal to linseed cake. 



On the feeding value of animal meals, E, Pescheck (Jour. Landw., 58 

 (1910), No. 4, pp. 345-362). — Analyses of several brands of bone and meat 

 meals are given, and metabolism experiments with dogs are reported. Although
