The experiraeut indicates that at the prices stated above for the two 

 feeds the effects of old aud new process linseed meals on the cost of 

 milk, when fed in like quantities, are practically the same. "In case 

 the new-process linseed meal is used the net cost of the milk is some- 

 what less on account of the larger amount offertilizing elements it con- 

 tains, which somewhat increases the value of the obtainable manure. 

 This advantage is, however, in the majority of instances, to some extent 

 compensated for by a somewhat more liberal yield of milk in case old- 

 process linseed meal has been fed." The milk of the individual cows 

 was, in general, slightly richer in fat when old-process meal was fed, but 

 although the dry matter of the old-process meal contained nearly 5 per 

 cent more crude fat than that of the new, the difference in the effects 

 of the two feeds on the composition of the milk was not marked.
