A feeding experiment with Biles XXXX grains has recently been 

 completed. Briefly stated, the experiment covered four weeks (ncjt 

 including preliminary feeding) and was so arranged that four pounds 

 of the distillers' grains were compared with an equal amount of Buf- 

 falo gluten feed. The results showed that the six cows produced 

 4338.37 pounds of milk on the distillers' grain ration, and 4078.82 

 pounds on the gluten feed ration. It was not possible to detect any 

 objectionable taint in the milk when the distillers' grains were used. 

 The grains are quite bulky, and in this respect can be used in place 

 of bran. It is not regarded as advisable to feed more than 3 or 4 

 pounds daily, preferably mixed w-ith other grains. (See grain rations 

 on page 29). 



In view of the fact that Buffalo gluten is considered an exception- 

 ally desirable milk producing feed, the results of the above experi- 

 ment place high grade dried distillers' grains in the list of economi- 

 cal and desirable feeds for dairy animals. 



This is an imported cake made by J. Bibby & Sons 

 Bibby's of Liverpool, and has been offered for a year or two 



Dairy Cake. in an eastern section of Massachusetts. It is com- 

 posed of cottonseed with a large amount of hulls, 

 barley or wheat, probably a considerable quantity of rice, sugar or 

 molasses, fenugreek and salt. It analyzed as follows : 



Water. Ash. Protein. Fiber. Extract Matter. Fat. 



Per cent 6.65 7.31 20.44 9.80 47-oi 8.79 



The two samples in the fall collection tested 18.92 and 21.20 per 

 cent of protein and 9.75 and 9.23 per cent of fat. The cake (some- 

 times sold ground) has a sweet taste and agreeable odor. The price. 

 $26.00 a ton, was not excessive, but it cannot be considered as eco- 

 nomical as cottonseed and similar products. It is hoped to test the 

 digestibility of this material in order to form a more exact opin- 

 ion as to its value. 



This feed was placed upon the market in the spring 



Nutrene of 1902 by Wogan Bros, of New Orleans. The 



Dairy Feed. sample examined consisted of molasses, absorbed 



by oat clippings or similar material, together with 



cottonseed hulls, some corn and a little cottonseed meal. It had a 



sweet taste, was guaranteed to contain 17 per cent of protein and 5 



per cent of fat, and analyzed as follows :
