EXPERIMENT STATION. 87 



The prejudice against breweiV grains, which has been quite 

 general, has arisen largely from the improper feeding of them and 

 from the fact that, being very wet, they spoil quickly and have to 

 be brought from the brewery fresh every day or two, or else are- 

 liable to be fed sour unless pitted or ensilaged. When properly 

 fed they give excellent results. 



The Concenti'ated Feed Company now prepare them by drying, 

 so that they can be kept indefinitely. In composition they differ 

 from gluten meal by containing some 12 per cent, less of albumin- 

 oids and 10 per cent, more of fiber, with 2 per cent, more of ash..
