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 the 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 the whole process of diges tion will be reached, clear enough for easy presentment to even elementary students.
