SUMMAKY. 



In buying feeding stuffs the farmer should understand both 

 the general character of the material, and the source and general 

 nature of the substances comjDosing it. It is often as important 

 to know that the desired ingredients are not furnished by oat 

 hulls or other indigestible wastes as it is to know the amount of 

 these ingredients. 



The terms nitrogenous and carbohydrate are too general to be 

 used without modification in classifying feeding stuffs and the 

 following four classes give a better grouping: 



Class I. Contain 30 per ct. to 45 per ct. protein and 50 -per ct. 

 to 60 per ct. carbohydrates : Cotton-seed meal, linseed meal and 

 gluten meal. 



Class II. Contain 20 per ct. to 30 per ct. protein and 60 per ct. 

 to 70 per ct. carbohydrates : Gluten feeds, Atlas meal, dried 

 brewer's grains, malt sprouts, buckwheat middlings and peas and 

 beans.
