FOODS ANIMAL PRODUCTION. 163 



The street-car company of Leipsic feed tlieir horses 5.5 kg. of corn and 1.5 kg. of oats ; 

 the horses are able to work as Avell as before on an exclusive oat diet, are in better 

 condition, and have a smooth, shiny coat. J. Jensen, Danish state instrnct.or in 

 animal luisbandry, states th;it "it is to be regretted that a field of such vast eco- 

 nomic importance as the feeding of horses has not yet been tlie object of comprehen- 

 sive and careful exiieriments, so that the relative feeding value of the various cereals 

 as food for horses might be stated definitely. It seems evident from the experiments 

 made, however, that the nutritive value and importance of oats as a food for work 

 horses has been overestimated, as, in fact, the value of the nitrogenous feeds in gen- 

 eral." — F. AV. WOLL.

Analyses of maize kernel {Connecticut State Sta. Bpt. 1S93, pp. 301-313).— Aunly- 

 ses with reference to food ingredients are given of 90 samples of corn kernels, together 

 with data regarding the weight of kernel and cob, ratio of kernel to cob, date of 

 planting, character of soil, method of cultivation, etc. The samples were those col- 

 lected for the Connecticut exhibit at the World's Fair. No deductions are made from 

 the analyses.
