Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Agricultural Chemistry; A Handbook For: Junior Agricultural Students and Farmers With the exception of a few corrections and additions, this is a reprint of tho last edition. In an elementary book of this kind the introduction of the results of recent work on the constitution and digestion of proteids may safely wait until the main facts and principles are more fully elaborated by the active investigations which are now being made. Doubtless, in the near future, a conception of tho whole process of digestion will be reached, clear enough for easy presentment to oven elementary students. This little volume is based upon the writer's long experience in teaching agricultural students, among whom there are, unfortunately, many who cannot devote the time necessary to acquire sufficient knowledge of pure chemistry to profitably read such works as the author's "Manual of Agricultural Chemistry." It is true that any attempt to combine, in one book, instruction in the principles of general chemistry with the somewhat technical information concerning tho chemistry of agriculture, must be in many ways a failure, and the author would strongly recommend the user of this work to read some good, modern text-book on the former; or, better perhaps, to ask his teacher to explain, at greater length, the very incomplete and sketchy accounts which are given of the principles of chemistry and of the properties of the elements and compounds important in agriculture.
