This table gives you the analysis of the cereals as nature produces 

 them. It also gives you the analysis of the by-product as the chem- 

 ists find them, and I hope that this table may aid you in becoming 

 educated in regard to the feeds that go to make up the concentrated 

 pure feeds that are on the market. 



I am often asked the question, ''What is the analysis of the adul- 

 terants that are mixed with the feeds that are found on our mar- 

 kets ?" I will give you a table of the adulterants that we have found 

 on the markets of Pennsylvania:
