The Bulletin. 57 



Alfalfa Feeds. — Twenty-two samples were analyzed. Six are below the 

 guarantee in protein, eight are below in fat and seven are above the guarantee 

 in fiber. Eight samples contain a small amount of salt. 



Cotton-seed Meal Feeds. — Twenty-two samples were analyzed. Seven are 

 below the guarantee in protein and three in fat. All the samples having fiber 

 guarantees came under the guarantee. 



Peanut Meals. — Only two samples were analyzed. These were sent in by 

 the manufacturers, and hence are not accompanied by a guarantee. 



Linseed Meals. — Only two samples were taken. Both of these are old process 

 meals. They come up to the guarantees and are both of good quality. 



Special Mixed Feeds. — Fourteen samples were analyzed. Five are below 

 the guarantee in protein, one in fat and two above the guarantee in fiber. 



These feeds are composed of mixtures of wheat products, wheat and corn 

 products and corn bran, wheat and corn products with the addition of cotton- 

 seed meal or oil meal, and two samples contain distillers' grains, malt sprouts 

 and brewers' grains. Only one sample contained ground corncob. 



Poultry Feeds. — Nine samples were analyzed. All of them came up to the 

 guarantees. As will be seen from the microscopic examination, these feeds 

 are composed of mixtures of whole and cracked grains in some cases, with the 

 addition of ground limestone. 



Miscellaneous Mixed Feeds. — Forty-four samples were analyzed. Five are 

 below the guarantees in protein, eight are below in fat and four above the 

 guarantees in fiber. 



These mixtures are as follows : Pure wheat products, 13 ; wheat and corn 

 products, 18 ; wheat products with corn bran, 3 ; mixtures of two or more ingre- 

 dients, usually wheat, corn and cotton-seed products, 3; mixtures containing 

 ground corncob, 7. 



Microscopic Examinations on Feeds Not Analyzed. — Sixty-seven samples 

 were examined that were not analyzed chemically. 



Cotton-seed Meals. — Ninety-five samples were analyzed. Twenty-five are be- 

 low the guarantee of 6.18 per cent nitrogen or 7.50 per cent ammonia (38.62 per 

 cent protein).
