LINSEED MEAL. 



Linseed meal or oil meal is the residue from the extraction of oil 

 from flaxseed. The oil is extracted by two processes, known as the old 

 process and the new process. In the old process the oil is extracted 

 by pressure and in the new process a solvent is used. On account 

 of the extraction being more complete when a solvent is used, the 

 old process meal is richer in fat, while the new process meal is slightly 

 higher in protein. 



Average analyses: Old Process Meal — Protein, 32.90 per cent; 

 fat, 7.90 per cent; fiber, 8.90 per cent; nitrogen-free extract, 35.40 

 per cent; water, 9.20 per cent; ash, 5.70 per cent.f 



New Process Meal — Protein, 32.20 per cent; fat, 3.00 per cent; 

 fiber, 9.50 per cent; nitrogen-free extract, 38.40 per cent; water, 

 10.10 per cent; ash, 5.80 per cent.f 



PEANUT MEAL. 



Peanut meal is the ground cake resulting from the extraction of 

 oil from peanuts. This makes a very rich feed. Frequently con- 

 siderable quantities of peanut hulls are ground with cake. This 

 lowers the value of the meal considerably, as the hulls are practically 

 worthless as a feed. Average analysis: Protein, 47.60 per cent; 

 fat, 8.00 per cent; fiber, 5.10 per cent; nitrogen-free extract, 23.70 

 per cent; water, 10.70 per cent; ash, 4.90 per cent.f 



BREWERY AND DISTILLERY BY-PRODUCTS. 



Dried Brewers' Grains. — Dried brewers' grains are dried barley 

 grains after they have undergone the process of malting, by which 

 the soluble dextrin and sugar are extracted. Average analysis: 

 Protein, 19.90 per cent; fat, 5.60 per cent; fiber, 11.00 per cent; 

 nitrogen-free extract, 51.70 per cent; water, 8.20 per cent; ash, 

 3.60 per cent.f 



Malt Sprouts. — The small radicles which germinate from the bar- 

 ley in the process of malting are known as malt sprouts. Average 

 analysis: Protein, 23.20 per cent; fat, 1.70 per cent; fiber, 10.70 

 per cent; nitrogen-free extract, 48.50 per cent; water, 10.20 per 

 cent; ash, 5.70 per cent.f 



Dried Distillers' Grains. — Distillers' grains are a by-product from 

 the manufacture of whiskey and alcohol. 



In the feeds on sale in the State this year the above three products 

 have been found only as ingredients in mixed feeds. 



SPECIAL MIXED FEEDS. 



In this class are grouped mixtures of two or more products which 

 are sold under a trade name. These usually consist of wheat and corn 

 products, in a few instances with the addition of cotton-seed meal or 

 linseed meal.
