The Pennsylvania samples are marked by the possession, in two 

 cases out of three, of an excei)tionally high proportion of corn-oil. 

 In all these cases, the fat or oil, and the protein also, so far exceeds 

 that found by Voorhees in the true skin or bran, that it is clear a very 

 considerable proportion of the germ must remain with the true bran 

 in the goods marketed under the latter name. 



Sugar Feed. 



A single sample of this name. No. 90, described as manufactured 

 in Chicago, 111., and sold by Simpson Bros., of Norristown, Pa., 

 at |1G per ton, was received, with the accompanying statement that 

 dairymen feeding it, believe it is giving good results. 

 The analysis is as follows: 



Per cent. 



Moisture, 9 . 76 



Protein, 7.94 



Fat, 7.40 



Reducing sugar, calculated as dextrose, .... .90 



Optical examination shows this to be a coarse corn-bran, from 

 white corn, with no considerable quantity of finely divided material; 

 the microscope shows no foreign starches present. The food is, as 

 both the analysis and optical examinations show, corn bran. 



Sugar Corn Feed. 



A single sample of this i)roduct was submitted, described as man- 

 ufactured by The Glucose Sugar Refining Co., Chicago, 111., and 

 sold by The Sims Co., Erie, Pa., at .fl4.00 per ton. A guaranty of 

 10.07 per cent, protein and 3.90 per cent, fat, accompanied the sam- 

 ple.
