part of the grain by means of water. The hulls and germs 

 are separated by screening. After the starch is removed 

 the yellow or flinty portion is mixed with the germs and 

 hulls. The mixture is kiln dried and partially ground. 



New and Old Process Linseed Meals. 

 Linseed meal is that part of the seed of the flax remaining 

 after the oil has been removed. In case of the new-process 

 meal the fat is more thoroughly removed. Both products 

 were in good mechanical condition, and after a few days the 

 animals consumed them eagerly. 



Dried Br elvers' Gh^ains. 

 This is that part of the barley remaining after the starch 

 has been largely removed by sprouting and fermentation. 

 In order that the grains can lie transported they are eventually 

 kiln dried. The sample was in excellent condition. 



Corn Cobs. 

 These cobs were ground as fine as was practicable by our 

 local miller. When fed they were mixed with about one- 

 half their weight of linseed meal. 



Spring and Winter Wheat Brans. 



These brans were in good condition, and, so far as chemical 

 analysis indicates, had approximately the same composition. 



^VJleat Middlings. 



This was a very good quality of middlings, being ground 

 as fine as flour. It was quite light in color. 



The table of analysis of the above feeds will be found a 

 few pages farther on.
