"Until aomparatively recent times, it has baa* eaatawary ta judge the feeding valoa of tka various fodders, including grass, from * consideration of their content of pfoteia, db*e, fat, and carbohydrates. Experience has shown, however, that ia eertaia aaaaa these conventional estimations of nutritive vshM hare aol given aa accurate indication ol the real value of certain fodders and grass pastures far fattening stock, for milk production or far tha breading of ato«k. Middletoa and other workara in England have potato* aat thai tka beef pro4uo)ag capacity of tha bait pastures may be ae much as 40 times greater than the poorest. A determination af their nutritive values by conventional attMi has given no indication ef tha great difference between the fattening «Q»lltie* of the pastures concerned. More raeently workers at the Rowett Inatttata, Aberdeaa. Scotland, and alao at other plaaaa, have shown that tha mineral aafteat of rations fed to stock is of great importance ia any consideration of their vtiat far fattening stock or for milk prodnetloa. Th« 7 have also shown that there It M great difference in the mineral content ef pastures which are considered good or »aar respectively by etockmao. They have demonstrated that a number of poor paaturaa in Scotland, in the Falkland Islands, alld in other place*, where high mortality or malnutrition of stock occur, have an extfeeaoiy law content ef certain mineral salts.
