Excerpt from Feeds and Feeding: A Hand-Book for the Student and Stockman Feeds and Feeding, first published in March, 1898, was received with immediate and widespread favor by practical stockmen, as well as by the professors and students of animal husbandry in our agricultural colleges and secondary schools. The plan of the book had been laid along original lines, and neither time, labor, nor expense was spared in its preparation. In 1910, after nine editions had come from the press, the book was entirely rewritten and improved in many ways. Again in 1915 the book was completely rewritten and improved in many ways. Again in 1915 the book was completely rewritten and enlarged to include the recent information, both scientific and practical. To this revision Professor Morrison, who had assisted thruout the first revision and who now became joint author, devoted much time, with a corps of trained assistants, during a period of over two years. The favour with which this second revision was received exhausted two large editions in less than two years and nine printings of the last edition have been required in rapid sucession. During the past few years exceedingly important discoveries have been made concerning the science and practice of live stock feeding. Furthermore, economic conditions have radically changed. Therefore, Professor Morrison has again entirely rewritten the book to include the latest information and to adapt it to changed economic conditions since the World War. Just as in the previous revision, the results of many important investigations, completed so recently as not yet to be in print, have been furnished by scientists thruout the country, in order that the findings might be presented in this revision. It is the aim to give Feeds and Feeding an unbiased and condensed presentation of the most important findings of the investigators of both the Old and New Worlds in the science of animal nutrition, together with the most important results of the vast number of feeding trials which have been conducted at the experiment stations in the United States and other countries, the whole being rounded out by the practical experiences of many of the leading stockmen of America. The authors have not relied merely on a thoro study of the published information on nutrition and stock feeding, but have gained personal contact with conditions in various districts by extensive travel. Part I presents briefly the fundamental principles of animal nutrition, including the most recent discoveries of the scientists. The bearing of these principles upon the practical feeding of live stock is given especial emphasis. Particular attention is given to the newer discoveries in nutrition, including the functions and importance of vitamins and mineral matter, as well as the differences in the quality of food proteins from various sources.
