resemblance is very slight at the best. It can be said merely that the 
date stones resemble these things more nearly than they resemble 
barley, wheat, and hay, and most other foddering materials. It will 
be noticed that there are several other substances — such as the refuse 
cake of the beet root, from which the juice has been expressed for 
making sugar; potato pulp left in the manufacture of starch ; and cab- 
bage stumps also— whose composition resembles that of date stones in 
one or two particulars, but which is clearly distinguished therefrom by 
the fact that the substances in question contain very little fat. 
The unlikeness of the date stones to most of the ordinary fodders 
may be clearly seen by comparing the analyses given on the previous 
page with the tables of fodder analyses on pages 885-388 of Johnson’s 
“ How Crops Grow,” New York, 1868.
