The linseed meal found was of uniformly good 

 Linseed Meal quality. The average price at which it was oifered 

 Page 8. was about two dollars a ton in advance of cotton- 

 seed meal. At this price it could not be considered 

 an economical feeding stuff unless desired for a special purpose 

 such as giving a sleek and glossy coat to horses or dairy stock, to 

 hasten the moulting of poultry, or as a slight laxative when fed 

 with a heavy ration. It is also a valuable component of milk 

 substitutes for young calves. 



Consumers are cautioned against purchasing linseed meal 

 guaranteed to contain less than 30 per cent protein. Such meal is 

 usually a mixture of ground linseed cake and linseed screenings.
