with the germ and softer portion of kernel, 



the mixture being ground and sold as "B" meal. Corn bran is 



also a by-product of corn starch and glucose factories. At the 



present time, so far as known, the corn bran thus produced is 



ground and mixed with the gluten meal and the resulting mixture 



comprises gluten feed. 



Corn bran is occasionally offered unmixed. The five samples 

 reported sold for about $22.00 a ton and are considered economical 

 if protein is not desired. The fiber of corn bran is much more di-

Molassine Feeding Meal, an English product containing a large

Germaline consisted of corn meal and dried molasses. It should 

 form a satisfactory source of digestible carbohydrates.
