Barley Feed is evidently a by-product bearing 

 the same relation to barley that oat feed does to ground oats. It 

 was not guaranteed. 



Feed Barley "^"BiS 2. composition somewhat resembling oats. Next 

 to oats, barley is considered a most satisfactory feed for horses. 

 Feed barley is frequently imperfectly developed and likely to be a 

 little moldy; such a product is better suited for poultry. 



Husted Germaline is a proprietary feed quite rich in soluble carbo- 

 hydrates. The analysis showed it to be quite similar to corn meal 

 in composition, and fully as valuable for feeding. 



Dried Beet Pulp is the dried residue remaining after the extraction 

 of the juice from the sugar beet in the manufacture of beet sugar. 

 One ton of dried pulp is substantially equivalent to five tons of aver- 

 age corn silage. Placing a value of $20 on five tons of silage, a ton 

 of dried pulp should not cost more, whereas its present selling price 

 is ^26. It is believed not to be good economy for farmers to buy 

 pulp in place of home-grown silage. 



A ton of dried pulp has from 80 to 90 per cent of the feeding 

 value of an equal amount of corn meal. When the supply of home- 

 grown corn is exhausted or limited, beet residue, plain or mixed with 

 molasses, may be substituted for fattening or as one-third of the 

 grain rations for dairy animals ; the balance of the grain ration 

 should consist of protein concentrates. Before feeding, the dried 

 pulp should be moistened with two to three times its weight of water.
