Hammoiur s Dairy Feed, according to the manufacturer's state- 

 ment, contains corn, oats, barley, distillers' grains, cottonseed meal, 

 grain screenings, malt sprouts, and pure cane molasses. The for- 

 mula for Hammond's Horse Feed was probably quite similar, except 

 that the protein concentrates were present in less amounts. 

 The horse feed exceeded its protein guarantee by about 4 per cent. 



But one sample each of Consolidated, Daisy, Harvard, Liternaiional 

 and Regal Molasses Feeds was collected. They practically main- 

 tained their guarantees, and were of average quality. 



Five varieties of this material are reported. 

 Calf Meals. They are intended as a whole or partial sub- 

 Pages 20-21. stitute for milk in the feeding of young calves. 

 All of these meals will undoubtedly serve as a 

 partial milk substitute for calves intended for dairy purposes, after 

 three weeks from birth. The station is giving some attention to this 

 matter. 



II. Starchy (Carbohydrate) Feeds. 



Corn Meal. Forty-one samples of corn meal 



Ground Grains, were reported. The entire ground corn kernel 



Pages 22-23. is referred to in many localities as corn chop, 



while the term corn meal is applied to the 

 milled product, from which most of the bran and a little of the pro- 

 tein matter have been separated. This distinction is not generally 

 recognized by the smaller Massachusetts millers. A number of the 

 samples here reported refer to the milled or bolted product. It has 

 a more attractive appearance than the straight ground kernel, but 

 has somewhat less protein and fat. For the feeding of animals the 

 writer prefers the entire corn kernel ground. In one instance it is 

 believed that some ground cob had been added by a Massachusetts 

 miller. The party has been cautioned.
