Hominy meal can be used in place of com meal in the ration 

 and at the same price gives more food value to the ton especially 

 when new com is on the market which contains an excessive 

 amount of water.

Provender as understood locally is a mix- 

 Provender, ture of straight corn and oats ground to- 

 Pages 24-25 gether. Occasionally provenders are of- 

 fered under distinctive brands which con- 

 tain oat hulls or hominy feed. The samples grouped under the 

 term provender are believed to consist of pure com and oats 

 ground together.

 Feeds (less than 12 

 per cent protein). 

 Pages 25-27 



Feeds of this description are proprietary 

 mixtures consisting largely of oat by- 

 products, com or hominy meals, and oc- 

 casionally other material. As a class they 

 cannot be considered economical for milk 

 production but can sometimes be used as 

 a satisfactory oat substitute for horses when oats are high, pro- 

 vided the}' do not contain more fiber than oats. As many of 

 them contain low grade milling offal, they should be considered 

 only when offered at a price considerably below that asked for 

 com meal, hominy meal and other high grade feeding stuft's.

 Feeds (over 12-15 

 per cent protein).

These feeding stuffs are much like those 

 grouped under the preceding heading ex- 

 cept that they contain more high grade ma- 

 terial. If the price is not too high, they 

 can be used in place of oats.
