Analysis of parts of cotton seed. 



Tlie difference between the composition of the hand-separated and 

 machine-hnlled products "is due to the fact that vrheu tlie seed is 

 hulled at the mills a small part of the kernel adheres to the hulls, therehy 

 iiicreasinjT^ their value as a food. Tbe analyses, which a^ree very well 

 with the average of a large number of analyses made elsewhere, show 

 that the hulls have a comparatively low nutritive value. They rank 

 along with straw and corn stover in their percentages of the most val- 

 uable nutrients (protein, fat, etc.)."
