But one sample of gluten feed, the Bay State, 



Gluten Feed. ran below its guarantee. This was not due to 



Page 8. adulteration but rather to the fact that more 



starch was left in this product than in other 

 brands. Gluten feed is a com by-product resulting from the manu- 

 facture of corn starch. It contains the corn gluten, some of the 

 com germ and all of the hull or bran together with more or less corn 

 starch and other similar bodies. In the past, in order to satisfy a 

 popular prejudice, it has been colored yellow, a practice which is 

 now happily falling into disuse. 



Gluten feed can be considered a satisfactory and economical 

 feed when used as a component of rations for dairy stock.
