GUARANTEED ANALYSES. 



In connection with the foodstuffs used in the foregoing experiments, the follow- 

 ing analyses, as quoted by manufacturers, may be of interest. Further analyses will 

 be made by the Chemical Division, of composite samples of these foods, taken during 

 the period of experiment. 



Guaranteed Analyses. 



Guaranteed Analyses (Molasses Meals). 



Molascuit. — Composed of the interior of the sugar cane after the juice has been 

 expressed this material, after screening and drying, is known as Megass meal, is 

 said to be 75 per cent digestible, and, furthermore, is capable of absorbing four times 

 its weight of molasses, the original juice being largely replaced by molasses. 



CaldweU's Molasses Meal. — Composed of 80 to 84 per cent pure cane molasses, 

 and the balance sphagntun moss. 



Molassine iVeaZ.— Much similar in composition to Caldwell's, sphagnum moss or 

 peat forming the absorbent matrix which holds a high percentage of molasses. 



ANALY.SES by the DIVISIOV OF CHEMISTRY. 



Readers interested in the above as well as all other live stock feeding experiments 

 are referred tc the report of the Dominion Chemist, a.s contained in previous chapters 

 of this volume, for the analyses of all the various foodstuffs under experiment. Such 

 analyses are absolutely essential in the final deductions relating to any feeds. The
