777 - The Guernsey Breed of Cattle in Italy. — b.-vrtolucci a., in Uindusiria latHera e zno- 



tecnica, XlVth Year, No. 5, pp. 68-69 No. 8, pp. 117-119 ; 7 fig. Reggie d'Emilia, March 

 ist and April 15, igi6. 



One cf the first attempts at introduction and acclimatisation of the 

 Guernsey breed in Italy was made by Count Senni at Grottaf errata, province 

 of Rome, on a farm rich in forage and possessing byres containing all up to 

 date improvements. The imported specimens, male and female, as well 

 as the pure products, have retained all the original characteristics, as well 

 as capacity for milk production, the organoleptic characters, and the com- 

 position of the milk and butter. The pure progeny have been selected and 

 crossed with cows of the Lombard, Brown Swiss and Dutch type. It has 

 thus been possible to prove the preponderant character of the Guernsey 

 bull in transmission by inheritance. In all the cases, the milk production, 

 of the females obtained from these crosses was larger and better than that 

 of their dams. 



778 - Experiments in Pig Feeding with Potato Peel. — zltntz and vox der heide, in 



Deutsche landwirtschaftliche Presse, 43rd Year, No. 31, p. 276. Berlin, April 15, igi6. 



The Authors carried out 2 experiments at the Ph^'siological Institute 

 of the University of Berlin in feeding pigs with potato peel in the form of 

 Berlin kitchen recuse. 



In the first experiment, this peel, well dried, thencoarseh ground, was 

 administered with a basal ration to 3 pigs. It was found that pigs of a 

 weight of 66 to 88 lbs can easily take i.i lbs. of dried peel per day per head. 



A second experiment, in which I pig received i.i lbs. of potato peel and 

 0.22 lbs. of desiccated full cream milk per day, and was put into a respiration 

 chamber, showed that the crude cellulose of the peel is much less diges- 

 tible than that cf the whole potato, which is quite intelligible. This matters 

 little, however, because the content of crude cellulose is small relatively to 

 the other nutritive elements, and the content of non-nitrogenous extract 

 is almost equal to that of whole dried potatoes. The crude protein is difii- 

 citlt to digest, but the figures of digestibility are not much below those found 

 by Keli<nER for dried potatoes.
