 composition on the bags. Such an article is of extra quality, and

 been many gluten meals tested at the experiment station, however, 

 varying from 25 to 32 per cent in protein, while a high grade meal 

 will contain from 35 to 38 per cent. Here follows the extremes of

 feeds is to remain fairly steady in composition. We find, how- 

 ever, variations of from 8 to 13 per cent in the fat, and from 15.3 

 to 23.1 per cent in the protein.

Atlas Gluten Meal. 

 The following variations of this feed stuff have been noted since 

 its appearance in our markets : — 



There is a difference of nearly three hundred pounds of protein 

 in one ton, in different samples of this feed ; and the farmer is 

 asked to pay the same amount of money per ton in all cases.
