Oat feeds, as is well known, consist of the residue from the oat 

 meal mills. They are liable to show wide fluctuations in feeding 

 value. Oat feeds average about 46 per cent of hulls and 54 per 

 cent of fine material. Quaker oat feed runs fairly constant in com- 

 position. Farmers arc cautioned against purchasing oat feeds not 

 marked or guaranteed. Many of the analyses given above, show only 

 5 to 7 per cent of protein. Such feeds have a very inferior feeding 

 value and are not worth over one-half as much as corn meal.
