ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



Off. Doc. 



The differences in selling price of these goods are not strictly in 

 accordance with their composition. 



Microscopic examination of these samples gives the following re- 

 sults: 



No. 224. Is coarse ground; contains, in addition to coarse par- 

 ticles of the corn bran, occasional bits of oat hull and quite a little 

 corn cob, though possibly not more than would result from im- 

 perfect cleaning of the kernel during the process of shelling. 



No. 211). Contains a \evy noticeable quantity of oat hulls. 



No. 238. Like No. 219, is evidently made by blending several ma- 

 terials. Considerable oat hull and more corn cob than a good clean 

 article of corn should yield, are present. The major portion of the 

 corn bran and grain is white, but numerous small yellow particles, 

 either of the pure endosperm, or of its more highly nitrogenous por- 

 tion, of yellow corn is present. 



In composition, at least as regards their richness in protein and 

 fat, these samples do not differ conspicuously from the others of the 

 same group. 



Cerealine Feeds. 



These are by-products from the manufacture of ''cerealine" break- 

 fast food® and are made from white corn exclusively. 

 The samples submitted are: 



The percentage composition of the samples is: 



The composition of Feed No. 1 is similar to that of hominy chop; 

 that of the sample purporting to represent Feed No. 2, resembles 

 gluten feed. No guaranties accompany the descriptions of these 

 feeds, but the guaranties given in New York State during the year 

 1900 are as follows:
