 variety of names, such as oat feed, Quaker oat feed, corn 

 and oat chop, etc. 



We cannot commend this article to farmers. It is made 

 up of different materials, and in putting it upon the mar- 

 ket the manufacturer simply is enabled to work off inferior 

 articles and refuse. It of course has considera])le feedingf 

 value, but the several ingredients can be bought cheaper 

 in other materials, such as corn meal, gluten feed, etc. 



(c) Gluten Meal. — This feed stuff is jn^epared from the 

 hard, flinty portion (gluten) of the corn. 



Since July the attention of the station has been frequently 

 called to the difference in the appearance of the Chicago glu- 

 ten meal. It formerly had a golden yellow color. A por- 

 tion of that now appearing on the market has a light or 

 grayish appearance. The manufacturers claim that this is 

 due to the use of white corn. 



f Not determined.
