Foreign Publications. — In a recently published article on Feeding Experiments 

 at the North American Experiment Stations* Dr. Martin Wilckens, who visited a large 

 number of the stations in this country during 1888 as a representative of the Austrian 

 Government, discusses the silage system of the United States and Canada, and gives 

 quite full abstracts of the work done at the Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, 

 Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mis^ssippi, New York (State and Cornell) Ohio, 

 Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin Stations on the 

 preparation, composition, and fe«*ding value of corn silage, and makes brief mention 

 of experiments in other lines at the New Hampshire, loAva, Maine, Michigan, and Mis- 

 sissippi Stations. He believes the teachings of many of these investigations to be 

 applicable to the conditions prevailing in Europe. 



The tenth revised and considerably enlarged edition of Prof. Julius Kiihn's work 

 on feeding — Die zweckmdssigste Ernahrimg des Eindviehs — has recently been issued at 

 Dresden. 



The Office has received through the Department of State from W. D. Warner, 

 United States Consul at Colog-ne, Germany, a copy of a work entitled Die Diingung 

 den- wichtigsten tropischer Culturpflanaen, by Dr. A. Stutzer, director of the experiment 

 station at Bonn.
