IS'ew 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 considerable 

 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 (3 samples) : Protein 29.50 per cent; fat 11.38 per 

 cent; fiber 22.73 per cent; nitrogen-free extract 26.93 per cent; water

BREWERY AND DISTILLERY BY-PRODUCTS. 



Di-ied 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 ex- 

 tract 51.70 per cent; water 8.20 per cent; ash 3.60 per cent.f 



Malt Sprouts. — The small radicles which germinate from the barley 

 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

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. 



The present feed law requires the statement on the tag of the ingredi- 

 ents of which a feed is composed, and with this class of feeds the pur- 

 chaser should be careful to note that this statement is made on all tags. 



POULTRY FEEDS. 



A number of braiuis uf poultry and chick feeds were found on the 

 markets. The ingredients of which these feeds are usually composed 

 are cracked corn, whole oats, barley, kaffir co7-n, peas, wheat, buck- 

 wheat, millet, sunflower seed, and in souu' brands ground limestone. 



The chick feeds are usually composed of the same ingredients which 

 have been partially ground. 



One brand of meat meal and one brand of blood meal were found on 

 the markets. These are very concentrated feeds, being high in ])rotein 

 and low in fiber.
