hat manganese is dissolved in soil

The food blockade Of the Central
European nations since the beginning
Of the European. war has stimulated
scientific research In. Germany 10 re-
markable degree. -Four recent seien-
tife papers on the general subject Of
animal feeding contain matter show
ing the degree Of attention being paid
the development Of what might be
called the unusual fodder plants.
Prof. ZuntZ of the University Of Der.
lin, foremost authority in animal hus.
bandry in all the world, reports in
Biochemische Centralblatt that the
crude fiber of straw is almost entirely
digestible by horses. He further states
that one kilogram of straw (2.2
pounds) with which 20T of molasses
has been mixed, has as much energy
value as 2.55 Kilograms of hay, or 0.92
Of oats. In straw feeding IL has been
found feasible to feed one part OF
digestible protein with fourteen parts
Of carbohydrates. u.
Another group of scientists at one Of
the other universities has conducted
exhaustive researches On the nutritive
value Of. oat, wheat, barley and rye
straw meals. II has been concluded
that straw meals serve useful pur-
pose for feeding ruminants but not
swine. Straw mOal is also declared TO
be Of value in bread making, as human
food. XXX
Nothing Wasted
Prof. StutEer Of the agricultural ex-
pertinent station has found that the
Ggestibility of straw meal is appreci-
ably increased by dampening il with
dilute acetic acid. The vinegar treat
ed straw was slightly brownish and
acquired an agreeable odor. Sheep
take to II and fatten rapidly on this
diet.
Professors StutEer and Haupt have
also contTived n method Of SO treating
pine needles, both fresh aud dry, that
they become an excellent forage. Pine
needles ground into meal and extracted
with alcohol to remove the resins and
turpentines, and combined with potato
| meal and hay, were successfully used
In feeding sheep. The Germans are
using every means in their power TO
foster the. production of sheep through
out Central Europe through making
otherwise useless plants available as
forage for them. f.H. ~ #la
In another series of experiments,
Prof. Stutzer has developed a method

the moss with dilute sulphuric acid
