Gluten Feeds. 



The ofluten feeds consist of the hull, o^erm and s^luten of 

 the corn mixed and coarsely ground together. They con- 

 tain more fibre and fat and less protein than the gluten 

 meals. They are more bulky and are safer to feed by 

 themselves than the g-luten meals.

The improved Buffalo gluten feed is said to be produced 

 by increasing the percentage of ash, the recovery and addi- 

 tion of some of the gluten formerly lost, and in the ex- 

 traction of the fat. The one analysis of improved feed 

 given above bears out this statement. The Chicago maize 

 feed has less fat and rather more protein than the ordinary 

 gluten feeds. 



Atlas Gluten Meal,* so called (better gluten feed), is 

 quite different from the regular glutens. It is the by- 

 product resulting from the manufacture of liquor from the 

 various grains. The process consists practically in the re- 



* Atlas feed and l)rewers' grain are not corn by-products. They consist of hulls, 

 germ and gluten of different grains, and the process of preparation is different from 

 the regular gluten feeds. It is thought best, however, to speak of them at this time.
