Of the 87 samples reported, 11, or about 12| per cent, ran more than one per cent 

 under guarantee in protein, a situation which can only be duplicated in ready-mixed 

 dairy feeds. Where such deficiencies occurred, if a sufficient amount was found in 

 stock, samples were submitted to the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, for action under the Federal law. In this way it is possible to 

 institute proceedings directly against the original shipper, who is responsible for 

 placing the goods on the market. 



The 15 samples of linseed meal collected maintained their guarantees. The brand 

 put out by the American Milling Company consists of linseed meal and ground screen- 

 ings, and is so guaranteed. 



The Corn Gluten Products (Gluten Meal and Gluten Feeds). 



None of these products varied materiallj^ from their guarantees. They were uni- 

 form in composition and the purchaser is quite safe in rel5dng on the guarantee. 



Corn Gluten Meal is that part of commercial shelled corn that remains after the 

 separation of the larger part of the starch, the germ and the bran, by the processes 

 employed in the manufacture of cornstarch and glucose. The article on the market 

 is known as Diamond Gluten Meal. 



Cor7i Gluten Feed, sold under different trade names, is that part of commercial 

 shelled corn that remains after the separation of the larger part of the starch and the 

 germ by the processes employed in the manufacture of cornstarch and glucose. 



Brewery and Yeast Factory By-Products. 



Malt Sprouts are seldom found in the Massachusetts markets except as an in- 

 gredient of mixed feeds. The one sample found, a Canadian product, except for a 

 slight deficiency in protein maintained its guarantee. 



The brewers' grains maintained their guarantees. 



The yeast grains were as represented except for a deficiency in fat. 



Wheat Middlings (Standard and Flour Middlings, and Red Dog Flour). 



Definitions. — Standard Middlings consists mostly of fine particles of bran, germ 

 and very little of the fibrous offal obtained from the "tail of the mill." This product 

 must be obtained in the usual commercial process of milling and, according to standard 

 set by the Association of Feed Control Officials, shall not contain more than 9.5 per 

 cent crude fiber. 



Flour Middlings consists of standard middlings and red dog flour combined in the 

 proportions obtained in the usual process of miUing and shall not contain more than 

 6.0 per cent crude fiber. 



Red Dog Flour consists of a mixture of low grade flour, fine particles of bran and 

 the fibrous offal from the "tail of the miU" and shall not contain more than 4.0 per 

 cent crude fiber. ' < 



The standard middhngs maintained their guarantees with the exception of two 

 Canadian products. Wheat Shorts and Screenmgs manufactured by Jas. Goldie Com- 

 pany, Guelph, Ontario, and Wheat Shorts and Screenings manufactured by Hunt 

 Bros, of London, Ontario, both excelled their minimum fiber guarantees.
