However, as already stated, with the recent develop- 
ment of the industry to recover fixed nitrogen from air, 
sulphate of ammonia is commanding greater demand, and 
the position of Bean Cake on the fertilizer market of Japan 
seems over-shadowed with a gloom. 
(2) Bran Caxe as Carre FEED 
As cattle-feed, Bean Cake equals cotton-seed cake and 
peanut cake in both digestibility and the protein amount, 
surpassing all other kinds of oil residues as an excellent 
rich cattle-feed. It causes no harmful reaction on the 
domestic animals, as the case often is among various oil 
residues. In consequence, in Manchuria and China, it has 
been in use as superior cattle-feed from early times. As 
already mentioned, most part of Manchurian Bean Cake 
in Japan is employed as nitrogen manure, but the prospect 
of its successful competition with sulphate of ammonia in 
the future being not quite reassuring, it is thought the 
more advisable to enlarge its utility as cattle-feed, as its 
chemical ingredients highly commend it. 
At present, the residue of Manchurian Beans that are 
exported to Europe and America and have the oil contents 
expressed or extracted are employed as cattle feed and not 
as fertilizer as the case is in Japan. 
Of the Bean residues put out in Manchuria, Bean
