The special test for Sulpliuric Acid proved the absence of any ob- 

 jectionable amount of that substance. The rich nitrogenous charac- 

 ter of the " Gluten meal " places it between the brans of our grains 

 and the oil cakes, and alongside of leguminous seeds, as beans, peas, 

 etc. Its peculiarity as compared with the above fodder articles con- 

 sists in the low percentage of mineral constituents, a point which 

 refjuircs careful consideration in its application.
