Hominy meal may be either yellow or white 



Hominy Meal. depending upon the variety of corn from which 



Page 26. it is produced. The two are of practically the 



same feeding value. Hominy feed is fully equal 

 to corn meal in feeding value and may be substituted for it. It 

 is somewhat superior to corn because it is kiln dried, uniformly 

 sweet and of good flavor. During the past year it has ruled lower 

 in price and could be used to advantage as a corn meal substitute.

Provender is understood locally to be a mixture 

 Provender of corn and oats ground together. Provender 



Pages 26-27. is most generally used as a feed for horses. 

 Owing to the prevailing high price for both corn 

 and oats during the past year provender has not proved an eco- 

 nomical feeding stuff for either horses or dairy stock.

not differ materially from the straight product. 



The station has issued a special circular on this product. For the 

 best results beet pulp should be fully moistened before feeding. 



Oat feed is the residue resulting from the manufac- 

 Oat Feed. ture of cereal breakfast foods from oats. It has a 

 Page 27. low protein, fat and digestible carbohydrate con- 

 tent and contains a large amount of fiber of low di- 

 gestibility. More oat feed was found on the market during the 

 present year than for some years past, presumably on account of 

 the high price of other feeding stuffs. Good hay from mixed 

 grasses has a higher feeding value than the average oat feed, and at 

 usual prices it can in no way be considered an economical feed for 

 New England dairy or horse men.
