572 EXPERIMENT STATION RECORD. 



thinner than the yellow bands of the yolk when the dye was fed daily, which 

 would indicate that the colored food from each feeding remained in the blood 

 less than one-half day. When all of the food was colored the yolk deposits 

 varied in density of color. The explanation offered is that the rate of deposi- 

 tion of fat and albumin varied during the night and day. and that while one is 

 being deposited heavily, the other is less abundant. 



Rhodamine Red, Auramine Yellow, and Sufifranine Red when mixed with the 

 feed colored the muscles, the feathers, and the shell and albumin of the egg. 

 During incubation the changes in color indicate that fat is formed from the 

 protein of the albumin, and that there is more or less circulation between the 

 yolk and the albumin. 



Nutritive value of blood proteins, T. Imabcchi < Ztschr. Physiol. Chem., 6'.J 

 {1910), Xo. 1, pp. 1-9; ahs. in .Jour. Chem. Soc. [London], 98 (1910), Xo. .570, II, 

 p. 322). — Metabolism experiments were made in feeding dogs defibrinated ox 

 blood. 



About S6 per cent of the nitrogen was absorbed as compared with 94 i>er 

 cent before and after the u.se of the dried blood. During the feeding period 

 there was a loss of body nitrogen. The amount of creatinin secreted daily fell 

 to about half the normal quantity. 



Comparative study of protein cleavage in the stomach, A. Schehnebt et .\l. 

 In Festschrift Otto Wallach. Gottingen, 1909, pp. .58-'i-€30 ; Deut. Tieriirztl. 

 Wchnschr., 11 (1909), Xos. 26, pp. 361-363; 21, pp. 393-396; 30, pp. 431-.'f39; 

 ahs. in Jour. Chem. .Soc. [London], 98 (1910), No. 510, II, p. .322).— The cor- 

 relations between digestion and anatomical variation of the different animals, 

 ranging from the small stomach of a carnivorous animal to the compound 

 stomach of a ruminant, are discussed. The pig takes a mid-position between 

 the pure cami^■orons and the herbivorous animal. In the 2-chambered stomach 

 of the hamster, one compartment is not antiseptic, and bacterial cleavage of 

 proteins occurs. Other characteristic differences in reference to the rate of 

 protein cleavage and other data are noted. 



[Analyses of feeding stuffs], J. Hexdkick (Trans. Highland and Agr. Soc. 

 Scot., 5. ser.. 22 (1910). pp. 122-12.5). — Analyses are reported of linseed cake, 

 compound cake, cotton-seed meal, India rubber nut cake, linseed chaff, and rice 

 husks. 



Feeding stuff inspection (Maine Sta. Off. Insp. 23, pp. 51-12). — This reports 

 analyses of feeding stuffs, which include cotton-seed meal, linseed meal, gluten 

 feed, red dog flour, wheat by-products, distillers' grains, molasses feeds, com 

 bran, and mixed feeds. 



Commercial feeding stuffs, J. "W. Cabsox and G. S. Fraps (Texas Sta. Bui. 

 121, pp. 5-10'i). — This contains the text of the amended Texas feeding stuffs 

 law, and the second report on the operation of the law. Analyses are reported 

 of cotton-seed meal and cake, wheat, com and rice by-products, mixed feeds, 

 milo maize chops, Kafir corn chops, milo maize meal, Kafir com meal, alfalfa 

 meal, dried brewers' grains, meat products, blood meal, tankage, bean meal, and 

 ground oats. Examples of rations for different kinds of live stock are also 

 given by J. C. Bums.

 proprietary stock feeds, and the adulteration and misbranding of oats and 

 proprietary stock feeds.
