THE FEEDING OF LIVE STOCK. 179 
pound of corn-and-cob meal has the same feed- 
-ing value as a pound of pure corn-meal. In 
this connection it is important to grind the 
cob finely. The writer has had difficulty in 
successfully feeding corn-and-cob meal to pigs 
when the cob was flaky or coarse, as they re- 
fused to eat it unless well milled. 
The by-products of the corn plant embrace 
most important and valuable feeding-stufts. 
The glucose and starch factories, distilleries 
and hominy mills produce by-products from 
the corn grain that are used for stock food on 
an extensive scale. ‘They include gluten meal, 
gluten flour, gluten feed, glucose meal, glucose 
feed, maize or starch feed, sugar feed or meal 
and grano-gluten. ‘These are produced by dif- 
ferent methods of manufacture and so vary 
widely in composition. Quoting from Allen:* 
The corn is soaked until it is swollen and soft, 
and is passed through the mill while wet, the 
hulls and germs of the corn being rubbed off. 
In some cases the starch is separated from this 
mass by means of running water and the wet 
residue is dried and sold as gluten feed. In 
other cases the mass after grinding is bolted, 
the starch and gluten passing through, while 
the husk and germ remain behind. In some 
factories the latter (husk and germ) are dried 
and sold as corn-germ feed, corn-germ meal,
