222 BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. [P. D. No. 4. 



propagation was shown from cuttings, and also from cuttings 

 that had rooted, and made one and two years' growth. In 

 all cases the entire root system so far as possible was taken 

 up with the stocks. 



Several new stocks, to be used in budding the pear and 

 apple, were exhibited, among which was the Pyrus betulce- 

 folia, a new pear stock of great promise, it not being af- 

 fected by blight. 



C. Department of Foods and Feeding. 

 This department showed thirty-five samples of the most 

 prominent concentrated feed stuffs in large glass jars. The 

 feeds were arranged with reference to the amount of protein 

 they contained, the label on each jar stating the protein per- 

 centage. The feed stuffs are chiefly the by-products from 

 the cotton and linseed mills, the glucose factories, flour 

 mills, distilleries, and factories employed in the preparation 

 of various breakfast foods. 



D. The College Farm. 

 The college farm made quite an attractive display of vege- 

 tables and fodder plants (grown quite extensively upon the 

 farm) in a small room in the rear of the hall. Those deserv- 

 ing of special mention were turnips, carrots, mangolds, cel- 

 ery, potatoes, beans, soy beans and millet. 



E, Dairy Machinery, etc. 

 In a room in the lower hall the Moseley & Stoddard Man- 

 ufacturing Company exhibited a very complete line of their 

 DeLaval separators and other dairy machinery ; and the 

 Worcester Salt Company displayed samples of its pure salt 

 for dairy use.
