• One sample only. 



In some of the cases included in the foregoing table, the analytical 

 results and the prices are derived from too small a number of sam- 

 ples and quotations to afford a perfectly representative figure; but 

 in the case of goods made on a large scale by manufacturers whose 

 work is subject to chemical check, even a single analysis should ap- 

 proximate closely to the average composition. 



The foods may therefore be divided broadly into classes as follows: 



I. Gotten seed meal, containing over 40 per cent, of protein with 

 a unit of protein requiring an expenditure of about 62 cents. 



II. Buckwheat middlings and linseed meal, 30 to 35 per cent, of 

 proteiu; expenditure per uuit of protein, 58 to 84 cents. 



III. Malt sprouts, gluten feed and germ-oil cake, 20 to 25 per cent. 

 of protein; expenditure per unit of protein, 70 cents to |1.00.
