ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



Off. Doc. 



Sample 26, of the same name, but reported as made by the Toledo 

 Milling Company, is very far inferior, containing a very large propor- 

 tion of hulls. 



H. O. Dairy Feed, made by the II. O. Company of Buffalo, and 

 composed of oat hulls with corn. Avheat and cotton-seed meal, is 

 represented by samples 85 and 112. It is guaranteed to contain 18.46 

 per cent, of protein and 4.53 per cent, of fat. The average of nine 

 recent New England analyses is 18.06 per cent, of protein and 4.01 

 per cent, of fat. The Pennsylvania samples are far inferior. 



, H. O. Horse Feed, made by the same company, and containing 

 a little linseed instead of cotton-seed meal, is guaranteed to contain 

 12.42 per cent, of protein and 4.54 per cent, of fat. The average of 

 18 recent New England analyses is 12.4 per cent, of protein and 4.2 

 per cent, of fat. Again, Pennsylvania samples are inferior. 



Sucrene Dairy Feed, reported as made by Brook and Pennock, of 

 Philadelphia, is accompanied by no guaranty. Its chief proteid in- 

 gredient is linseed meal ; by roasting, the other substances contained 

 have been darkened; a considerable proportion of reducing sugars 

 is present. An analysis made by the Massachusetts Station (B. 64, 

 p. 22), shows 18.69 per cent, protein and 2.97 per cent. fat.

• Said to be composed of corn, oats, wheat and barley. 



Microscopic examination indicates that No. 89, Simpson's Poultry 

 Food, is a mixture of middlings, oats and corn; the proportion of hulls 

 seems rather eicesBiye.
