 Unmixed By- Products. 



Of these, linseed meal, gluten meal, gluten feed, brewers' grains, red dog flour, 

 wheat flour middlings, wheat standard middlings, wheat bran, dried beet pulp and 

 oat feed showed no deficiencies in the samples collected. Of the 54 samples of cotton- 

 seed meal, nine were below guarantee in one or more particulars. From these, two

 was thought not to be justified. One lot of yeast grains showing a deficiency of about 

 2 per cent in fat had been in stock over a year and was finally disposed of to one con- 

 sumer with full knowledge of its age and condition. One sample of Ellison's Wheat
