Gluten meal is a by-product in the manufacture of glucose, 

 which has lately come into the market. It is not easy to compare 

 this with the ordinary kinds of feed. It ranks among concen- 

 trated feeding stuffs, because of its large content of albuminoids 

 (or protein). Beans with 24 per cent., linseed cake with 29 per cent., 

 and malt sprouts with 26 per cent, of albuminoids come nearest 

 to it in respect to this, the most costly element of food. The 

 gluten meal is, however, richer in fat than beans or malt sprouts, 

 and much less rich than linseed and cotton seed meal. It most 

 resembles the " new process " linseed meal, which contains on the 

 average 35^ per cent, of albuminoids and i-^ per cent, of fat, and 

 it is likely that its feeding value will approach that of " new 

 process" linseed. Actual use in feeding can alone decide posi- 

 tively its value, which, from its source and its composition, is 

 presumably high. Its proper use is in connection with coarse and 

 unconcentrated foods, to supply their deficiency of albuminoids.
