oor readers of the uses of Chemical Science as the 

 eiponent of Farm Practice. Chemical investi- 



tbe solids and fluids of the animal body are com- 

 posed of two jzreat classes of compounds, one con- 

 :. :; : nitrogen, the other destitute of this element. 

 Of these the former greatly preponderates ; the 

 •distance of the muscles, the animal matter of the 

 bone}, the principal solids of the blood, &c, 

 being all composed of substances containing 

 nitrosenas an ingredient. _ The fat which. be*i.i.-

mrogenised class. Now, the chemical examination 

 of the plants employed as the food of animals has 



- biied a similar constitution. The seeds of the 



and albumen of Peas and 

 starch and sugar of the Cereals and 

 3 pectic acid of the Turnip and Carrot,

 ral rule, the latter or non-nitrogenised 

 preponderates in all plants used as

 one. Why is this ? Have we nol
