The composition of the above article does uot materially differ from 

 that of previously reported analyses ; the variations are within the 

 limits noticed in fair samples of cotton seed meal, its mechanical con- 

 dition was of a superior character. The meal was produced, aocord- 

 ing to the statement of the dealer by a new process, "Roller-process," 

 and sifted.

II 



The article was of a good mechanical condition. A comparison of 

 the analysis No 6, in Bulletin No. 1, shows that the above sample 

 contained 3 per cent, of fat and 5 per cent, of nitrogenous mattar 

 less than that of No. fi, whilst its soluble non-nitrogenous matter 

 exceeds that of the latter about 10 per cent. No free sulphuric acid 

 was noticed. The discussion of this new article of fodder in connec- 

 tion with analysis No. 6, applies here. Considerable interest has 

 of late been manifested regarding its use for milk production. This 

 analysis as well as the previous one of cotton seed meal. No. 103, 

 was made at the special request of the editor of the New England 

 Homestead.
