Many of the materials mentioned above when compared with 

 the grains from which they are derived show a depletion of sugars 

 and starch and a corresponding relative increase in the ^nitrogen- 

 free extract of the less valuable compounds. This is especially 

 true of the wheat offals, the gluten feeds and the oat feed mixtures. 

 In the case of the one sample of gluten meal examined the starch 

 still constituted a lai*ge proportion of the nitrogen-free extract. 

 The chop feeds ^d other similar combinations contain as a rule 

 quite a proportion of corn, that furnishes nearly all the starch which 

 is found in these mixtures. Such materials as the X Oat Feed and
