" This work was originally outlined as agricultural chemistry, 

 but as special features have been developed and published, as 

 the ' Chemistry of Soils and Fertilizers/ and 'The Chemistry 

 of Dairying,' this part of the subject has gradually developed 

 into ' The Chemistry of Plant and Animal Life,' and includes 

 the composition of plant and animal bodies, the chemistry of 

 the plant and of its food and growth, the chemistry of human 

 foods and animal nutrition, the digestibility and value of foods, 

 and the laws governing their economic use. A few topics of 

 an industrial nature, but closely related to plant and animal life, 

 are also included. 



" It has been the aim throughout to present the topics in such 

 a way that they would be easily understood, and to develop the 

 reasoning powers of the student so that he would be able to 

 make the best use of his chemistry in everyday-life affairs."
