2. In the present feeding experiment, tlie brewers' grains ration 

 produced slightly more live weight, milk and milk ingredients than 

 did the bran ration. The former ration required rather less dry and 

 digestible matter to produce a definite quantity of milk, milk solids 

 and milk fat. The cost of producing milk and butter was also 

 slightly in favor of the brewers' grains. 



3. If corn meal had been fed as a part of each ration in place of 

 gluten feed, in order to secure the maximum feeding effect of the 

 protein contained in the brewers' grains and wheat bran, it is believed 

 that the difference hi favor of the brewers' grains would have been 

 more pronounced. 



4. Brewers" dried grains did not show any objectionable effect 

 either on the general condition of the animal or on the flavor and 

 keeping quality of the milk. 



5. From 2 to 5 pounds daily is the usual allowance for dairy 

 animals, preferably mixed with other grains. The dried grains are 

 as bulky as bran, and serve as a distributer of the heavier concen- 

 trates. 



6. Brewers' dried grains may be regarded as a satisfactory and 

 economical protein feed for both horses* and dairy animals.

(a) Character of the Product. 



Malt used in the manufacture of beer is prepared by moistening 

 barley and allowing it to sprout in a warm atmosphere, thus pro- 

 ducing a ferment called diastase, which readily converts starch into
