July, 1914] ANALYSIS OF FEEDING-STUFFS. 15 



It is difficult to understand why a part of the consuming 

 public will continue to purchase low grade feeds which have 

 an unknown feeding value and pay almost, if not altogether, 

 as high a price as must be paid for standard products which 

 have a known feeding value. Freight rates and commis- 

 sions are no less on oat hulls, corn cobs and sphagnum moss 

 than on wheat feeds, brewers' and distillers' grains, cotton 

 seed meal, etc. However, some very inferior products come 

 on to our market year after year. 



The writers wish to acknowledge the assistance rendered 

 by Messrs. H. M. Eastman, M. H. Broggini, G. L. Ham, 

 and A. J. Grant, in preparing the following analytical data.
