The fact is noted thai in addition to the above a number of the station reports 

 have contained miscellaneous analyses of feeding stuffs, and that a general discussion 

 of the Bubject has also been published ( E. S. R., 0. p. 581). 



Licensed concentrated feeding stuffs, F. W. Woll and G. A. Olson (Wiscon- 

 sin Sta. Bui. 113, pp 13-17, 20-22). — A list is given of the feeding stuffs licensed for 

 •sale in 1904 together with their guaranteed protein and fat content. The State feed- 

 ing-stuff law is quoted and suggestions are made regarding the purchase of concen- 

 trated feeds. 



Commercial feeding stuffs (Connecticut State Sta. J!j>t. 1003, j>t. .',, pp. 371-4.'', ). — 

 The data reported have been noted from another publication (E. S. R., 15, p. 889). 



The feeding value of rape and other succulent foods ( Wisconsin Sta. Rpt. 

 1903, pp. 46-55). — The growth and uses > if the rape crop are discussed and the static in 

 investigations which have to do with its feeding value are summarized and discussed, 

 the articles included being Growth and Uses of the Rape Crop, by J. A. Craig ( F. S. 

 R., 10, pp. 741, 773, 781); Rape for Feeding Sheep, by J. A. Craig (E. S. R., 8, p.

 Feeding Value of Rape for Swine, by W. L. Carl vie (E. S. R., 13, p. 981). 



Report on the relative effects of superphosphate and basic slag upon the 

 feeding quality of swedes, J. W. Paterson ( West of Scotland Agr. (hi. Rpt. 1901, 

 pp. 45-51). — It was found that 40 sheep fed Swedish turnips manured with basic slag 

 gained 15 per cent more than an equal number similarly treated in every way except 

 that, they were fed Swedish turnips manured with superphosphates. The turnips were 

 analyzed and "taking weight of dry turnip matter into consideration, the respective 

 positions per acre were as 97 to 100." Considering both yield and feeding value, basic 

 slag "produced the smaller but the more valuable crop." 



The principal feeds and fodders available to Ontario farmers, (J. E. Day 

 {Ontario Agr. and Expt. Union Rpt. 1903, pp. 42-50, dgm. 1). — A paper with discussion 

 dealing with the composition and feeding value of concentrated and coarse feeding 

 stuffs. 



Indian food grains and fodders; their chemical composition, II, J. W. 

 Leather (Agr. Ledger, 1903, No. 7 (Med. and Chem. Ser.,No. 16), pp. 147-192 -j- III).— 

 Analyses are reported of a large number of samples of rice and other cereal grains, 

 leguminous seeds, oil-bearing seeds, oil cakes, nulling products, chaff, straw, and 

 cereal and leguminous forage crops, fresh and cured. 



Sarco-phosphoric acid as a constituent of the central nervous system, A. 

 Panella (Gior. B. Accad. Med. Torino, 1903; abs. inZentbl. Physiol, IS (1904), No. 4, 

 p. 114). — As shown by quantitative determinations, sarco-phosphoric acid is a con- 

 stant constituent of the large and small brain of lambs, pigs, calves, rabbits, guinea pigs, 

 chickens, cats, and dogs.
