GLUTEN MEAL (2). 



[Refuse from Glucose Manufacture sent by Newton & Fuller, Springfield, Mass.] 



Eighty-three per cent, passed through mesh, 144 to the square inch. 



Both articles were of a good mechanical condition. A 

 comparison of the first and second analysis shows that the 

 latter contained 3 per cent, of fat and 5 per cent, of nitrog- 

 enous matter less than the former, whilst its soluble non- 

 nitrogenous constituents exceed that of the former about 10 

 per cent. No free sulphuric acid was noticed in either case. 

 The rich nitrogenous character of the "gluten meal" places 

 it between the brans of our grains and the oil cakes, and 

 alongside of our leguminous seeds, as beans, pease, etc. Its 

 peculiarity, as compared with the above fodder articles, con- 

 sists in the low percentage of mineral constituents, a point 

 which requires a careful consideration in its application. It 

 ought to be fed with coarse articles of fodder, rich in mineral 

 matter.
