DAIRY FARMING— DAIRYING. 



Chicago gluten meal vs. King gluten meal, J. P>. Lindsey et al. 

 {Massachusetts Hatch Sta. Rpt. 1895., lop. 228-230). — An experiment was 

 made with 4 grade cows in different stages of lactation, to compare 

 Chicago gluten meal and King gkiten meal. The test, which was pre- 

 ceded by a preliminary period of 7 days, was divided into 2 periods of 

 7 days each. Each cow was fed 4.5 lbs. of wheat bran and 18 lbs. of 

 roweu hay per day. In the first period cows 1 and 3 were fed 4.5 lbs. 

 of King gluten meal, and cows 2 and 4, 4.5 lbs. of Chicago gluten meal 

 daily. In the second period the rations were reversed. The composi- 

 tion of the Chicago gluten meal and the King gluten meal is given. 

 The results are expressed in tabular form. 



"The cows consumed the same amount of digestible matter daily, [and] the daily 

 yield of milk and the cost per quart were practically identical in each period. 



" The Chicago meal was in its usual good condition. In spite of the fact that the 

 King meal contained nearly 20 per cent of fat, no rancid odor or taste Avas noticed 

 after the meal had been in the barn 6 months. Its mechanical condition was all that 

 could be desired. The objection to feeding by-products especially rich in fat is that,
