drawn (Jan. — Feb.) new com was just coming into the market. 

 The water content of meals made from old corn and collected dur- 

 ing the present autumn will be determined with a view to ascer- 

 taining the difiference in water content due to the drying out of the 

 corn as the season advances. If dealers carry corn during the win- 

 ter months which contains an excessive amount of water, it is not 

 surprising that a great deal of trouble is experienced through heat- 

 ed meal as the weather grows warmer.

 It has substantially the same feeding value, 

 and can be substituted for corn meal whenever the latter can be 

 used to advantage. It contains slightly more protein and more 

 fiber and fat than clear com and correspondingly less starchy matter. 

 Hominy meal, when fed with oats, constitutes a very satisfactory 

 ration for horses. 



The twenty-three samples collected were of good quality and 

 practically met their guarantees. 



Star Feed cannot be properly classed with hominy feed as it is 

 an admixture of hominy feed and ground corn cob. This fact is, 

 however, clearly stated on the attached tag and no one need be mis- 

 led as to its true composition. Its feeding value is less than that 

 of the straight feed.
