366 Annual Report for 1913 of the Consulting Chemist. 
This was made by the Anglo-Netherlands Sugar Corporation, 
Ltd., at their factory at Cantley, Norfolk, and the price was 
6?. 10s. per ton. I should regard this as a distinctly dear 
material at the price. The invoice, moreover, contained no 
guarantee of oil and albuminoids, such as is required by the 
Fertilisers & Feeding Stuffs Act. 
7. Fish Meal. / 
The use of this material as a food for stock has recently 
been considerably advocated. The following are analyses of 
four such samples : —

The price of “A” and 
‘‘B” was 
13/. 10s. 
per ton 
delivered, 
and of “ C ” and “ D ” 11/. Is. 3 d. per ton delivered. Considering 
that this is practically a waste material, I should consider the 
prices, more especially of the first two, decidedly high. 
8. Compound Cake. 
Ihe following is the analysis of a compound cake which was 
sent to me and which had been improperly described as “ Palm 
nut cake ” : — 
Moisture ........ 11*43 
0il * . 9*51 
albuminoids ....... 18*88 
Starch and digestible carbohydrates . . . 36*26 
Woody fibre 16*68 
2 Ash ......... 7-24 
100*00 
Containing nitrogen ...... 3*02 
2 Including sand ....... 1-99 
d his cake consisted mainly of cotton seed, earth-nut and 
lice, but together with these was rape seed and also mustard 
seed, both of them undesirable constituents of a compound cake. 
9. Feeding Meal. 
A Member of the Society sent me a sample of calf meal, 
stating that, since the use of it, two calves had died on succes- 
sive nights. I examined the meal and found that it consisted 
practically of Linseed meal. The seed, however, was not clean, 
as it contained 3 per cent, of sand. Moreover I found that, on
