Oat Feed, Victor Corn and Oat Feed, Model Corn and Oat Feed, Quaker Dairy 

 Feed, and others. The bulk of all these materials is ground oat Iiiills with admix- 

 ture of ground corn and oat kernels. Tlie feeding value of tliem is variable and 

 they should never be bought except on a guaranteed composition, and then it 

 should be remembered that the oat hulls are not as digestible as the kernel of 



oats or other grains. 



The price paid for these feeds is, as a rule, far in excess of their feeding value 

 when compared with wheat bran, middlings and cotton-seed meal.

bran and rice polish. Pure rice bran is seldom found in this State, as in the 

 majority of cases it is mixed with rice hulls or chalY, and its feeding value is 

 accordingly reduced. The polish is free from hulls and other substances and is 

 about as good feed as corn meal, and can be fed profitably when purchased at the 

 same price. 



Rice feeds have a high fat content, and for this reason their keeping quality 

 is rather poor.
