Side 5 - June 30, 1902; that we have found the same well kept and classified as above, and that the receipts for the year from the Treasurer of the United States are shown to have been...
Side 120 - ... stuffs he found a very close agreement between the two. In the case of coarse fodders, on the contrary, his actual results were much lower than the computed ones. The difference was found to .be very closely proportional to the amount of crude fiber present, amounting to 617 calories for each pound of total crude fiber. When this deduction was made the computed results agreed very closely with those actually found. Finally, for certain intermediate classes of feeds, such as milling by-products,...
Side 119 - ... are dealing with differences too large to be accidental and too important to be ignored in the practical computation of rations. Furthermore, these results show that the only safe basis for a comparison of the values of feeding stuffs is the actual experiment upon the animal, in which the real gain or loss of flesh and fat is accurately determined. In other words, the only way to ascertain the nutritive effect is to actually determine it.
Side 49 - Now, grammatical analysis and synthesis, while less mechanical and more varied in their operations than elementary mathematics, are nearly or quite equal to it as a means of inculcating the habit of accurate ratiocination. On the other hand, the grammar method is open to criticism on the ground that it neglects two of the most important objects of foreign-language study : the...
Side 116 - Each pound of coal fed into the fire box is capable of evolving a certain amount of heat, representing its fuel value in the above sense, and that heat is capable of producing a certain quantity of steam. A definite fraction of the latter, however, is required to introduce the next pound of coal into the fire box and therefore is not available for driving the main engine. As already noted, the expenditure of energy in this way has been the subject of considerable investigation, notably by Zuntz and...
Side 147 - The metabolizable energy of a feeding stuff may also be expressed as a percentage of the total or gross energy. Such a percentage is analogous to a digestion coefficient, so that if an average value for it were established for any particular kind of feeding stuff, the amount of metabolizable energy in a given amount of it could be computed from its total energy by multiplication by this coefficient just as the digestible dry matter or organic matter can be computed from the total amount present by...
Side 120 - ... assistant in animal nutrition, has prepared the appended table, in which the production values of some of the more common American feeding stuffs are computed in accordance with Kellner's methods. The table is based upon those given in Farmers' Bulletin No. 22 (revised edition), of the United States Department of Agriculture. In the case of coarse fodders the deduction for the crude fiber has been made precisely as described above, but in other cases the production value has been computed from...
Side 119 - When we find, for example, that on the basis of digestible nutrients 174 pounds of timothy hay are the equivalent of 100 pounds of corn meal, while the actual experiment on the animal shows that for maintenance 211 pounds and for fattening 273 pounds of timothy hay are required to equal 100 pounds of corn meal, we are dealing with differences too large to be accidental and too important to be ignored in the practical computation of rations. Furthermore...
Side 29 - SIR: I have the honor to present herewith the report of the Office of Experiment Stations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1901.
Side 45 - Were the claims of the manufacturer all valid, a condimental food which would cure gapes in chickens might be expected to increase the flow of milk of cows and also to cure hog cholera.
