also unpleasant to handle. 



Sucrene dairy feed, composed of granulated cane or beet molas- 

 ses, light oats, malt sprouts and a small quantity of cottonseed and 

 gluten meals, maintained its guarantee and was in good mechanical 

 condition, 



Sucrene Jwrse feed is said to be composed of light oats, barley, 

 corn, linseed meal and molasses. The two samples collected ex- 

 ceeded their protein guarantee. 



Holsteln sugar feed, said to contain 20 per cent, of cane molasses 

 and 10 per cent, of cottonseed meal, was slightly below its protein 

 guarantee. 



Blomo feed is composed of ground corn stalks, oat clippings or 

 similar material as a basis, together with blood and molasses. It 

 showed a much lower water content than formerly, which should re- 

 sult in a decided improvement in its keeping quality. Several lots 

 have been found to contain an excess of water, which caused it to 

 spoil rapidly during the summer months. It has been fed satis- 

 factorily at this Station, but the writer can see no economy in its use, 

 otherwise than furnishing a variation from the regular corn and oat 

 diet. 



Blatchford's sugar and flaxseed consisted of ground flaxseed and 

 linseed meal, carob bean, cottonseed meal and cereals or cereal by- 

 products. Because of its cost, its use must be quite restricted. 



Molasses grains are a sticky feed of a relatively high moisture con- 

 tent and are composed of malt sprouts, beet pulp and molasses. The 

 samples collected were deficient in both protein and fat, and in- 

 correctly guaranteed in one instance. 



Oat middlings and the several rye feeds were of average quality. 



Biles' union grains are a mixture of distillers' grains, malt 

 sprouts, wheat feed, hominy, linseed meal and salt. 



H-O dairy feed is composed of oat offal, corn, and wheat feed, 

 fortified with cottonseed meal.
