The "Caddo" cake was purchased from the Caddo Cotton 

 Oil Company of Shreveport, Louisiana. "Caddo" cake is 

 the cake left after extracting the oil from the cottonseed 

 by the cold process. That is, it is made up of both the cake 

 and the hulls; or it consists of everything in the seed ex- 

 cept the oil. These tests do not show it to be as valuable 

 for feeding purposes as the ordinary cottonseed cake. The 

 chemical, analysis of the "Caddo" cake fed, as reported 

 by the State Chemist, Dr. B. B. Boss, of Auburn, was as- 

 follows: 



Moisture 9.75 per cent. 



Ash 4 . 70 per cent. 



Fibre 21 . 18 per cent. 



Protein 27.62 per cent. 



Ether Extract (oil) 8.78 per. cent. 



Carbohydrates 27.97 per cent.
