brewers' dried grains. 



Eight samples of this class of feeds were collected, only one of which 

 was found to be below guarantee. The guarantees for protein and fat 

 varied from 19 per cent and 5 per cent to 30 per cent and 7 per cent 

 respectively while the results found varied from 18.1 per cent and 4.8 

 pep cent to 34.9 and G.7 per cent respectively. The retail prices quoted 

 ranged from |25.00 to |30.00 per ton. It will be noticed that the varia- 

 tion in price does not follow the variation in composition. 



CORN GLUTEN FEED. 



Twenty-four samples of corn gluten feed were collected, only four of 

 which were below guarantee. The average analyses of all samples varied 

 from 21,4 per cent to 34.3 per cent protein and from 1.8 per cent to 7.5 

 per cent fat while the retail prices quoted ranged from $27.00 to $40.00 

 per ton. 



CORN GLl'TEN MEAL. 



Three samples of corn gluten meal manufactured by the Corn Products 

 Refining Co. were obtained, one of which was below guarantee in fat. 

 In other respects the analyses of the three samples were very uniform. 



HOMINY FEEDS. 



Of this class of feed, 10 samples were collected, four of which were 

 deficient in fat and two in protein. The retail price quoted ranged from 

 127.50 to $34.00 per ton. The guarantees for protein and fat varied from 

 9.5 to 11.3 per cent and 6.0 to 8.5 per cent respectively while the results 

 found varied from 9.6 to 11.0 per cent and 6.1 to 8.0 per cent respectively. 

 The analyses of the various samples agree more closely than the guaran- 

 tees made by the manufacturers. 



CORN FEED MEAL. 



Sixteen samples were collected and analyzed under this class, some 

 being pure corn meal for which no license is required. One sample of 

 corn germ meal is also included under this classification. 



The moisture content of the samples was found to be very high in sev- 

 eral cases and it was noticed that these high moisture samples spoiled 

 very rapidly. In two cases the samples had spoiled before the fat de- 

 terminations were made. 



Three samples were below guarantee in protein and the same number 

 in fat. 



The attention of the manufacturers and dealers is directed particu- 

 larly to the definitions for corn products and it is suggested that the 

 labels be prepared in accordance therewith. 



ANIMAL BY-PRODUCTS. 



Sixteen samples of feed under this class were collected, two of which 

 were below guarantee in protein and two in fat. These by-products com- 

 prised digester tankage, blood and bone meal, meat meal, granulated 

 bone, and meat scraps. In all but one case the labels were in accord
