Distillers' Dried 

 Grains. 

 Page g. 



Seven samples of corn distillers' grains and five 

 samples of rye grains were collected. The 

 com grains contain about 30 per cent of pro- 

 tein while the rye grains contain from 12 to 18 

 per cent. 

 The corn grains have been on the market in New England for 

 a number of years, while the rye grains have not, until the past sea- 

 son, been extensively offered, having previously been exported. 

 During the past season rye grains have been freely offered at $16 

 per ton in bags, wholesale, f. o. b. Boston points, which would be 

 substantially $1 per hundred at retail. Such a price renders this 

 article decidedly economical for northern feeders.*
