XXX feed. The manufacturers of this feed claim that screenings 

 are not used. The weed seeds found are probably due to the fact 

 that malt sprouts, a component of this feed, often contain an appre- 

 ciable amount. 



Suga rota feeds contained a considerable amount of chopped hay or 

 alfalfa, as indicated both by the microscope and by the fiber per- 

 centage. Their use could not be considered economical. 



AVERAGE ANALYSES. 



Mo lac feeds contained an excess of oat hulls, as is indicated by the

Red Coiv dairy feed. It is understood that this feed, is no longer 

 on the market. It fell decidedly below its guarantee, and contained 

 a noticeable amount of rice hulls, which are considered not only in- 

 ferior but dangerous as a food for stock. It was guaranteed to con- 

 tain 15 per cent protein and only 7.95 per cent were found ; the fat, 

 guaranteed to be 3 per cent, showed only 0.53 per cent. This feed 

 also contained 21.24 P^r cent of fiber, indicating it to be composed 

 of decidedly inferior material. 



Hammond feeds approximated their guarantees and did not contain 

 an excessive amount of fiber.
