The average composition of the two types of corn, dent and flint, 

 and of Indian corn-meal and gluten-meal, as given by Jenkins and 

 Winton, is as follows: 



TABLE 7. Average percentage composition of corn, corn-meal, and gluten-meal. 



[Compiled.] 



The average, maximum, and minimum protein and fat content of 

 gluten feeds examined in Pennsylvania, New York, and New Eng- 

 land a from 1898 to 1901 is as follows: 



TABLE 8. Percentage of protein and fat in gluten feeds. 

 [Compiled.] 



The protein content, and in fact the entire composition, of the 

 various samples reported in Table 10 under the name gluten feed 

 is satisfactory. While samples Nos. 1479 and 1938 are somewhat 

 lower in their protein content than the other samples examined, 

 there is no evidence of adulteration. A number of the samples have 

 a fat content considerably lower than the averages given in Table 8, 

 but this fact does not have any especial significance, since gluten 

 feeds are sold for their nitrogen rather than their fat content. The 

 two samples of gluten-meal examined show a very satisfactory pro- 

 tein content.
