 their digestibility, the method of measuring the efficiency of 

 feeding stuffs, the nutritive ratio of cattle feeds, methods of 

 combining coarse and concentrated feeds (balancing rations), 

 different types of balanced rations, giving amounts of each 

 article, and rations for young stock.

List of Available Publications, July 1, 1913. 



A synoptical and analytical index to the publications of the 

 Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture, available for dis- 

 tribution on July 1, 1913, has been prepared, but, owing to 

 lack of funds, cannot be published. The following list, how- 

 ever, gives the title, author and date of all publications avail- 

 able, or in press, on the above date. 



Copies of bulletins, circulars, separates, nature leaflets and 

 the Crop Report will be mailed to any one free of charge. 

 The expense of shipping the annual and special reports must 

 be borne by the applicant. The special reports are sold at 

 cost of preparing, printing, binding and wrapping. 



New information is constantly accumulating and being 

 published as time for proper editing and appropriations per- 

 mit. An article is seldom reprinted without prior submis- 

 sion to the author for additions and corrections, and thus is 

 kept thoroughly up to date. Appendices to this list will be 

 added from time to time, and readers of the Crop Report will 

 be regularly posted through its columns as to new publi- 

 cations.
