[Figures equal percentages or pounds per hundred.] 



The new process Chicago gluten is superior to that for- 

 merly sold, because it contains a noticeably higher percent- 

 age of protein. This is due to a more thorough removal 

 of the starch, and possibly to a saving in gluten formerly 

 lost in the manufacturing process. The Cream gluten 

 closely resembles the Chicago. The King gluten meal con- 

 tains a high percentage of fat. 



The Golden gluten contains considerable hull, and prob- 

 ably the germ, ground with the gluten, which re?ults in a 

 lower protein percentage. 



Hammond gluten meal resembles the old process Chicago. 



Gluten meals containing low percentages of fat are safer 

 to feed than those containing high percentages. Excess 

 of fat tends to produce inflammation of the milk glands 

 [garget). 



All of the gluten meals, Iowa excepted, are very low in 

 fibre ; these products are classed with the cotton and linseed 

 meals as the most concentrated feed stufis. They are heavy, 

 and when fed in any quantity should be mixed with some 

 lighter material, such as bran. 



* Probably about the same as old process.
