8horis and Middlings.— In the fccding-stuff trade these two prod- 

 ucts are frequently the same and are the inn.er coatings of the wheat 

 grain and arc made up of smaller fragincnts,- together \v'\i\\ portions 

 of the more starch_y part of the wheat grain.

 in oil and protein. 



From Corn. 



Maize or Corn Bran is the outer husk or coating of the corn grain. 

 It is high in fiber and of low feeding value. 



Gluten Meal is the more nitrogenous portion of the corn "grain, 

 which lies just below the husk. It is what is left after the bran, 

 germ and starch are taken from the grain in the manufacture of 

 starch. 



Germ Meal or Cake is the nitrogenous and fatty residue left after 

 extracting the oil from the germ of corn. It is very digestible and 

 an excellent feed. 



Corn-cohs consist largely of woody fiber and consequently have 

 low feeding value. When corn has not fully ripened more nutriment 

 remains in the cob, as it is not then so hard and woody. Cobs, when 

 ground with the grain belonging to it, are not objectionable, but 

 rather improve the feed for cattle and horses. 



Corn and Cob Meal. — Frequently corn, together with the cob which 

 bears it, are crushed together at the same operation, the resultant 

 product being called corn and cob meal. It is a good feed when well 

 ground. 



From Rice. 



Rice Meal or Bran is the outer layers of the rice grain, together 

 with portions of the germ. They are rich in nitrogenous matter 

 (protein) and fat, and are high in percentage of ash, or mineral 

 matter. 



Rice Polish is a fine powder and is a still more highly nitrogenous 

 feed than the meal or bran, as a rule. 



From Oats. 



Oats are almost entirely employed whole or crushed as a feed stuff. 

 The by-products from the manufacture of oat-meal are comparatively 

 worthless ; the husk or hull, which is the main part of this by-product, 

 being mainly woody fiber, and therefore of but little feeding value. 



From, Barley. 



Malt Sprouts. — Malt is produced by soaking barley in water and 

 allowing it to germinate until the shoots attain a certain length. The 

 malt is then kiln-dried and the shoots broken off. These dried shoots
