298 Annual Report of the Consulting Chemist for 1880. 
I have not been able to learn at what price this cake was 
sold. It probably was cheap ; if so, the meal may be used with 
advantage for feeding purposes. 
Refuse Pkess-cake fkom the Manufacture of 
GRArE-SUGAE. 
Another press-cake is produced in the manufacture of glucose 
and of grape-sugar from Indian corn. A sample of the cake on 
analysis had the following composition : 
Moisture ' .. .. 8-85 
Oil 12-75 
*Albuminous compounds 25-62 
Dextrine, sugar, and digestible fibre 28-01 
Woody fibre (cellulose) 9-43 
Mineral matter, cousistino; chiefly of carbonate of 
lime r 15-34 
100-00 
* Containing nitrogen 4-10 
This cake, it will be seen, contains more oil than good linseed- 
cake, and about as much albuminous compounds. It is a 
palatable and nutritious feeding material, and more valuable 
than rice press-cake. 
The ' Journal ' of the Society for 1880 contains the following 
contributions of mine : 
1. Report on the Field and Feeding Experiments conducted at Woburn.

In the course of the year I paid fourteen visits to the experi- 
mental fields at Crawley Mill Farm. In the spring of the year 
six additional acres of land were kindly granted by the Duke of 
Bedford for experimental purposes, to test practically the com- 
parative manuring value of soluble and insoluble phosphates 
and certain artificial manuring mixtures. The whole of the six 
acres have grown in this season a crop of swedes on twenty-four 
plots of a quarter of an acre each, and will go into barley next 
spring. With a view of ascertaining to what extent the several 
manures applied to the quarter-acre experimental swede-plots
