nitions. The Arkadelphia INIilling Company claim that this was a hominy 

 product made by the determinating process, but owing to the condition of 

 the corn used it did not meet the required standard. 



Stock and Horse Feeds. — Products of this nature usually contain 

 from 500 to 800 pounds of oat feed (cereal breakfast food residue), the bal- 

 ance being corn or hominy meal together with other by-products. When 

 sold at a figure which bears a direct relation to the price of their components, 

 they can be considered satisfactory for horse rations or as part of the dairy 

 ration. They are often sold at an exorbitant figure. when the market price 

 of oat feed is considered. The use of such products is not advised where 

 they contain over 10 per cent, of fiber, as many of them do.

Molasses Feeds (less than 15 per cent, protein). — Most of the feeds 

 in this group contain alfalfa meal as a base, to which molasses or molasses 

 and cereal grains and by-products have been added. The remarks about fiber 

 made relative to stock feeds apply with equal force to molasses feeds. 



Miscellaneous Starchy Feeds. — Barley feed is sold under various 

 names, such as barley feed, barley screenings, barley bran and barley mixed 

 feed. It is a mixture of barley hulls and barley middlings in varying pro- 

 portions, the better grades containing the larger amounts of middlings. It 

 is a by-product from the manufacture of barley flour. Barley feed according 

 to grade has from 40 to 50 per cent, of the feeding value of corn meal, and 

 best results will probably be obtained where not over 30 per cent, is used 

 in the ration.
