etc. In others the material is treated to ex- 
tract the oil from the germ and then sold 
under the name of maize feed. The material 
which passes the bolting cloth is treated to 
separate most of the starch, and the residue is 
sold as gluten meal, cream gluten, ete. The 
Chicago gluten meal, it is said, has had a part 
of the fat extracted from it. In some cases the 
gluten meal is mixed with the hulls and germs 
without the oil being extracted. This is said 
to be the case with Buffalo gluten feed. These 
materials should not be compared with grano- 
gluten, which is a dried distillery refuse. The 
residues from these factories are frequently 
sold in their wet condition, containing from 60 
to 70 per cent of water, under the names of wet 
starch feed, sugar feed, glucose feed, etc. These 
wet products must be used at once, as they 
ferment. The dried products from the same 
factory often vary considerably in composition. 
Owing to these variations, and to the fact that 
there is such a variety of names for these pro- 
ducts it is difficult to make any he!pful class- 
ification; the farmer can only be certain of 
what he is buying when he buys on a guar- 
anty of composition or from lots that have been 
analyzed. 
Hominy chop, tae and feed are by-products 
from the manufacture of hominy and contain 
the germ and coarser portions of the corn.
