Foods, nutritive value and cost, W. 0. Atwater ( U. S. Dept. Agr., Farmer^ 

 Bui. 23, pp. 32). — This is a popular bulletin dealing with the nutrition of the 

 human body, the composition and fuel value of food, nutritive value of different 

 food materials, digestibility of food, dietaries and dietary standards, pecuuiary 

 economy of food, waste of food, and food and health. An appendix gives the com. 

 position of a large number of food materials, dietary standards, and 18 suggested 

 dietaries with their composition. 



Chemical composition of foods, E. F. Ladd {North Dakota Sta. Bui. 15, pp.

 grass, Kentucky blue grass, mixed grasses, prairie hay, millet, medium red clover, 

 alsike clover, alfalfa, wheat straw, oat straw, corn silage, oats, wheat, wheat screen- 

 ings, wheat bran, linseed meal, and sedge seed; and analyses with reference to fer- 

 tilizing ingredients of timothy, orchard grass, Kentucky blue grass, medium red 

 clover, alsike clover, and alfalfa.

 nesota Sta. Bpt. 1893, pp. 41-49). — A reprint from Bulletin 27 of the station (E. S. R.,

 that of pure seed is acid. 



The meat meal of commerce, A. Andouahd {Ann. Agron., 21 {1895), No. 1, pp. 

 34-37). — The food value of this material is briefly discussed, and danger from poison- 

 ous products of fermentation, and possibly the disease germs which it may contain, 

 warned against. 



Influence of quantity of food upon economy of milk and butter production, 

 H. J. Waters, W. H. Caldwell, and R. J. Weld {Pennsylvania Sta. Bpt. 1893, pp. 

 24-36). — A somewhat less detailed account of this experiment was given in Bulletin 

 24 of the station (E. S. R., 5, p. 596).
