Peoria Gluten Feed. 



Similar in appearance to the Buffalo, but the sample tested 

 was rather interior in composition. It is probably prepared 

 from corn, in much the same way as the Buffalo gluten feed. 



Chicago Maize Feed, 



This feed is also prepared from corn. It is said to be a 

 mixture of the yellow albuminous portion and the hulls 

 without the germ. It contains, therefore, somewhat less fat 

 than the gluten feeds. The hulls are not ground quite as 

 fine. 



Chicago Gluten Meal. 



This is the yellow albuminous portion of the corn kernel. 

 It contains much less fat than the other gluten meals. It 

 was in good mechanical condition, and quite dry. 



King Gluten Meal. 

 This meal was ground very fine. It contained a very high 

 percentage of fat (19 per cent.). 



Atlas Meal. 



This is a by-product obtained from corn or grain in the 

 process of the manufacture of alcohol. The starch of the 

 grain is converted into sugar by the action of diastase, and 

 finally into alcohol by fermentation. The hull, gluten and 

 germ are left behind. The meal is probaljly composed of 

 these, together with an admixture of malt sprouts. It is rich 

 in fat and albuminoids. It is made hy the Atlas Distilling 

 Company, Peoria, 111. 



Peanut Feed, 



This material appears to be peanut shells finely ground, 

 with a small admixture of the nut. It contained over 50 per 

 cent, of cellulose.
