STANDARDS FOR CATTLE AND POULTRY FOODS. 

 A standard for comparison is always necessary in passing judg- 

 ment on the composition of concentrated feeds. The percentages 

 of protein, fat and fiber serve as an index of their character in the 

 majority of cases. To be of standard quality, the various: concen- 

 trates should be free from foreign material, mould and rancidity, in 

 good mechanical condition, and maintain the following percent- 

 ages of protein, fat and fiber: — *
