' Taken from Farmers' Bulletin 142. entitled '' Principles of Nutrition and Nutritive 

 Value of Food " See also Farmers' Bulletin 74, entitled " Milk as Food," published by the 

 U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, for a fuller discussion of this subject. 



2 The cost of I lb. of protein, means the cost of enough of the given material to furnish 

 I lb of protein without regard to the amounts of the other nutrients present : the same may 

 tje said of the cost of 1000 calories of energy. These estimates are therefore unsatisfactory 

 in that neither gives credit for the value of the other.
