 this character are sold at such high prices that the economical feeder

A. B. C. cattle feed, of which but one sample was collected, fully 

 maintained its guarantee, but was bitter and hence unpalatable. 



Unicorn dairy ration, according to the manufacturer's statement, 

 contains wheat gluten (glutola), corn gluten feed, cottonseed meal, 

 hominy meal, linseed meal, malt sprouts, and wheat bran. This 

 feed fully maintained its guarantee. The six samples collected gave 

 the following average percentage composition: protein 27.03, fat 

 6.30, fiber 8.81. The average price was $32.67 per ton. It is an 

 excellent feed of its kind but is a trifle high in protein to be fed by 

 itself. The addition of 2 pounds of corn meal to each 5 pounds of 

 the dairy feed would make a more satisfactory ration.

 samples collected gave the following average percentage composi-

 $33.00 per ton. It is an excellent feed of its kind. 



Ubiko /^t'/'5"^y('^(/ fully maintained its guarantee. It was clean and

Buffalo creatnery feed maintained its guarantee, the average analy-

 At an average price of $34.50 per ton it could hardly be considered 

 an economical feed. 



Bibbfs oil cake feed is an imported product consisting largely of 

 ground cottonseed, carob bean, cereals or their by-products, fenugreek 

 and salt. It resembles in chemical composition standard wheat 

 middlings and has approximately the same feeding value. This 

 feed is quite favorably known in England but is not used extensively 

 in this country. It could not be considered a perfect balanced 

 ration for dairy animals. 



Algrane milk feed, because of its high fiber and relatively low 

 protein content, could not be considered an ideal dairy ration. The 

 average analysis for the three samples collected was as follows: pro-
