Others I have read that are especially suitable for the home are “Feeding the Family,” by Mary Schwartz Rose, and “Dietary Computer,” by Pope.  There are doubtless many other good ones.  The Department of Agriculture publishes free bulletins on the subject.  Farmers’ Bulletin No. 142, by Atwater, is very comprehensive.

Other authorities I have consulted are Lusk, Friedenwald and Ruhraeh, Gautier, Sherman, Buttner, Locke and Von Noorden.
