Remarks : 



I. Is a fair example of malt sprouts, of average composition. It 

 is one of the cheapest concentrated foods. The nitrogen, valued 

 at 15 cents per pound, is worth as a fertilizer $10.95. 



II. This food is used to quite an extent in the South. This 

 sample consisted of about half lint and half hulls. I am imformed 

 that, by a machine now in operation, the hulls are cleaned from 

 lint, much more perfectly. This would increase the value of the 

 hulls as a feeding material. The chief use, however, to which 

 these hulls are put at present, is for fuel under the boilers in the 

 cotton-ginning establishments. The ashes thus formed are a com- 

 mercial article, and are particularly valuable as a source of potash. 



III. This food is the refuse from a starch manufactory, and 

 compares favorably with corn meal. 



IV. Wheat Bran (new process) from spring wheat, sent on by 

 H. M. Jaques, Wright's Corners. 



V. " Condimental Cattle Food" from the Condimental Food 

 Co., Philadelphia, Pa.
