44 Report of the Department of Animal Husbandry of the 



eighteen samples of inferior goods found in the market of that 

 State, 



This adulteration is probably brought about by grinding in 

 hulls. These meals were sold in part under the name Sea Island 

 Cotton-seed and probably were in all cases a mixture of the yellow 

 meal and finely ground hulls. Farmers should avoid such goods. 



The sample of cotton-seed feed No. 552, the analysis of which 

 appears in the above table as a means of contrasting it with 

 cotton-seed meal, consists of cotton-seed hulls and is very inferior 

 in value. 



LINSEED MEAL. 



Linseed meal is a by-product from the manufacture of linseed 

 oil. It is often called oil meal. " Old process " oil meal is that 

 from which the oil is obtained by pressure and " new process " 

 meal is the residue afer treating the crushed seed with a light 

 naphtha. The former contains the more fat although owing to a 

 change in the process the " old process " meal contains less fat 

 than was formerly the case. 



By the older methods about 35 lbs. of oil was obtained from 

 100 lbs. of seed, but now the output is larger. 



The relative value of " old process " and " new process " meal 

 is much discussed. Certainly there is no appreciable difference 

 in palatableness and healthfulness, and no large difference in 

 nutritive qualities. The protein of the latter appears to be some- 

 what less digestible, due doubtless to the increased cooking to 

 which the new process product is subjected.
