New York AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 43 
The difference in fertilizing constituents between corn meal 
and cotton-seed meal is very marked. 
The following table gives the amount of nitrogen, phosphoric 
acid and potash in one ton of the eight foods:

The Bulletins published by the Station will be sent free to any 
farmer applying for them. A Bulletin will soon be published 
showing the chemical composition of foods, and their digestibility, 
also giving some rations calculated for milk production, and the 
rations fed by some of the leading dairymen of New York State. 
While in this interesting exhibit there was not a fact which has 
not been presented over and over again to every intelligent farmer, 
the facts presented in this manner impressed themselves in a 
remarkable way wpon all who inspected this exhibit, and beyond 
' doubt the dry figures which are given hereafter to represent the 
percentage of carbohydrates, albuminoids, fats, fiber, ash and 
water which make up the several foods and products of the farm, 
will have a fuller meaning to those who were so fortunate as to 
have inspected this interesting exhibit. 
It is interesting also to have observed that the number of those 
visiting the Station is rapidly increasing, hardly a day passing 
during which the work being done is not subjected to inspection 
upon the part of persons from different sections of the State and 
of the country. 
Frequently granges and local Pe ontette| societies in a body 
come to spend a day in looking over the farm and the stock, and 
during the season there have been frequent visits made by a 
committee of the State Grange, appointed for the purpose of 
watching and reporting the progress of the work going on at the 
Station.
