Yellow hominy feed. It is understood that ver\' 

 Hominy Meal, little or no yellow corn is used for the preparation 

 Pages 27-29 of hominy and the material known as yellow 

 hominy should be more properly sold as corn feed 

 meal. While its composition indicates that it is practically equal 

 to white hominy in feeding value, it is manifestly unfair to the 

 white corn millers to imply that it is the product of the hominy 

 mills. 



White hominy feed. The samples collected were of good 

 quality. Hominy frequently carries a lower percentage of fat 

 than formerly due to the fact that the germ is removed and the 

 corn oil extracted from it. After the extraction of the oil the resi- 

 due is either sold as corn germ cake or is remixed with the hominy 

 feed. Feeders should bear in mind that hominy feed is uniformly 

 of lower moisture content than corn meal and hence is slightly 

 superior in feeding value. It can "often be purchased at a lower 

 price than corn meal and can replace the latter in any grain mix- 

 ture with satisfactory results.

The term provender as understood locally refers 

 Provender to a mixture of whole corn and whole oats ground 

 Page 29 together. The samples examined were free from 

 adulteration. The Imperial Steam Cooked Feed is a 

 special brand composed of corn and oats coarsely crushed or rolled. 

 While it has not been cooked sufficiently to rupture the starch 

 grains, it has probably been heated enough to dry it out and to 

 prevent the development of mould spores.
