ALIIKKT A. KKKNE. 

 (No. 1934.) 



Ref erriiig to your copy of analysis of oa1 feed (1934), would say I have m>t pui < mi any

LAWRENCEBURG ROLLER MILL. 



(Nos. 1597, 1919.) 



We are in receipt of the analyses of our Snowllake and Golden Hull mixed feeds, Nos. 

 l-")!)7 and 1919. * * * Referring to Snowflake mixed feed * * * the words 

 middlings or shorts" [are used] and referring to Golden Bull the word " bran." Snow- 

 tlake mixed fee<l is milled from soft winter wheat and Golden Bull mixed feed from 

 hard spring wheat. Inasmuch as they both are the full run of offals, only the flour

Referring to your analysis of hominy feed No. 1913, supposed to have been manu-
