SUMMARY. 



Wheat Bran and Mixed Brans. — Fifty-one (51) samples of pure wheat bran 

 and mixed brans were examined. Thirteen (13) samples were below the guar- 

 antee in protein. 



Middlings or Shorts. — Fifty (50) samples of middlings or shorts were ex- 

 amined, and all were found to be pure wheat products. Fifteen (15) were 

 below the standard of fifteen (15.00) per cent protein. 



Bran and Shorts. — Fifteen (15) samples of bran and shorts were examined. 

 All were found to be pure wheat products. Six (6) samples were below their 

 guaranteed analysis. Three (3) were below the standard of 14.50 per cent 

 protein. 



Shipstuff. — Forty-seven (47) samples of shipstuff were examined. Twenty- 

 one (21) were pure wheat products. Twenty-six (26) were mixtures. 



Corn and Oat Feeds. — Twelve (12) samples of corn and oat feeds were ex- 

 amined. Eight of these samples contained less than 10.00 per cent protein, and 

 are therefore low grade. 



Rice Feeds. — Seven (7) samples of rice feeds were examined. These feeds 

 vary very much in composition and should be purchased according to the 

 analysis they bear. 



Molasses Feeds. — Thirteen (13) samples of molasses or sugar feeds were 

 examined. These feeds vary in quality, due to difference in composition. 



Beet Pulp. — Two samples of beet pulp were examined. The analyses of this 

 product will reveal its nutritive value. 



Hominy Feeds and Chops. — Fourteen samples of hominy feeds and chops 

 were examined. Samples 2S93 and 2S94 are not chops, but wheat products. 



Cotton-seed Feeds. — Three (3) samples of cotton-seed feeds were examined. 

 These samples are guaranteed to contain twenty-two (22) per cent protein. 



Special Mixed Feeds. — Eighteen (18) samples of special named feeds were 

 examined. Most of these feeds are of good quality. 



Miscellaneous Feeds. — Eigbty-eight samples of miscellaneous feeds were ex- 

 amined. The analyses of these products will reveal their nutritive value. 



Cracked Corn. — Fourteen (14) samples of cracked corn were examined. 

 Some of the samples of cracked corn were made from damaged corn. 



Miscellaneous Feeds Examined Microscopically. — One hundred and five (105) 

 samples of feeds were examined microscopically. An examination of the col- 

 umn marked "Ingredients" will show the material of which these feeds are 

 composed. 



Fifty-four (54) samples of cotton-seed meals were examined. Eighteen and 

 a half (18%) per cent were found to contain less than 7% per cent ammonia. 



INSPECTION AND ANALYSES OF COTTON-SEED MEAL 



The cotton-seed meal law of this State requires that all cotton-seed meal sold 

 in the State shall contain iy. 2 per cent ammonia or more. Fifty-four (54) 

 samples of cotton-seed meals have been examined. The samples have been 

 secured in different parts of the State, at different times, and represent the 

 quality of this product that is offered for sale in this State. Ten (10) of the 

 samples examined, or 18.5 per cent, were below the standard of 7% per cent 

 ammonia. The samples below 7% per cent ammonia appear in black type. 



Discussion of Results. — Good grades of cotton-seed meal contain 43 per cent 

 or more of protein. This means that they have about 7 per cent of nitrogen, 

 which is equal to S.50 per cent ammonia.
