AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE FODDER. 



the meat only not uneatable because without it was starvation. It is 

 such eating however that makes all the difference between an Englishman 

 in India, and an Englishman in England, and the cachectic meat of this 

 country is owing to the inattention to pasture arid hay grasses. In 

 Bombay even, horse-dung is used as fodder for buffaloes and cows. " All 

 flesh is grass," and no plants therefore are more worthy of experiment 

 and improved culture in India. Linnaeus, as quoted by JEloyle, has tersely 

 said "Graminea, folia pecoribus et jurnentis Iseta pascua, semina miuora 

 avibus, majora hominibus esculenta sunt." 



Camel fodder-plants also, in some provinces of the Empire, call for 

 intelligent observation and culture. The compiler has not studied 

 the subject, but submits the following list of Camel Fodder-plants from 

 the Government records of Sindh, on the authority of the late Dr. Stocks, 

 whose accuracy is always as conspicuous as it is rare in Indian botanical 

 works of a late date.
