Stock Feeds grouped according to Fiber Content. 



Molasses Feeds (less than 15 per cent protein). — The following feeds 

 in this group contained corn or oats or other high-grade feeds together with 

 aUalfa meal and molasses and were for the most part intended as horse 

 feeds: Sucrene Horse Feed, Peerless Horse Feed, Oasis Feed, Hamilton 

 Horse Feed, Alfalfa Oat Feed, Omaha Special Horse Feed, Emerald Horse 

 Feed, Purina 0-Molene, Colonel's Ration, White's Special Horse Feed. 

 Green Meadow Feed consisted of alfalfa meal and molasses. The fact should 

 be borne in mind that alfalfa either in the form of meal or in the bale is 

 simply an excellent kind of roughage (a hay rich in protein) and does not 

 compare either in digestibility or net available energy with the cereal grains. 

 Its use, especially in large amounts in horse feeds where the resulting mix- 

 ture brings a price equal to the market price for the grain which they con- 

 tain, is doubtful economy. 



Domino Vim-0-Lene contained no alfalfa, but consisted largely of corn, 

 oats and cane molasses. Xtra-Vim Feed was a mixture of cane molasses 

 and sphagnum moss. The feeding value of this mixture lies in the molas- 

 ses which it contains, the sphagnum moss simply acting as an absorbent 

 for the molasses.
