mixtures on the market, they are either saturated M'ith molasses, 

 seasoned with salt or mixed with concentrated material like oil 

 meal, gluten feed and oat meal and thus rendered attractive to 

 animals. 



Is it profitable for our farmers to buy such mixtures? It 

 is the opinion of this department that it is extravagant. Meadow 

 hay and corn stover are superior to oat hulls or flax straw and 

 weed seed is too abundant now in- our fields. If such feeds are 

 purchased it should be those with the highest percentages of 

 protein and fat. 



The poorest feeds in this class were found among the molasses 

 feeds and the flax feeds. These contained many weed seeds, par- 

 ticularly the H-J flax feed, M^hich was also far below its claims 

 in percentages of both fat and protein. 



The crude fiber in these materials shows clearly the use of 

 coarse material as a part of the mixture. Sucrene Feed con- 

 tained 12.1 per cent, fiber, Molac Dairy Feed 14.5 per cent, and 

 H-J Flax Feed 10.7 per cent. No whole grains, except light 

 weight oats, possess 10 per cent, of fiber, while no meals or by- 

 products exceed this percentage except distillers' grains, which 

 average about 11 ])or cent.
