HOMINY FEED OR CHOP. 



Tlie hominy which is mannfactured for hnman consumption 

 consists of the liard part of the maize kerneL The hull and 

 germ togetlier with more or less of the starchy portions of the 

 kernel make up the waste of hominy manufacture, and are known 

 as hominy feed or chop. 



This material differs somewhat from corn meal in composition, 

 the starch being less, the fiber and fat somewhat more, and the 

 protein about the same, yet nutritively speaking, corn meal and 

 hominy feed are not gi-eatly unlike. 



Moreover, hominy feed appears to be quite uniform in compo" 

 sition, as is shown by the analyses which are given in this con- 

 nection.
