Conclusion. An examination of the previously recorded results of 

 the inquiry into the respective particular claims of both kinds of lin- 

 seed meal as food constituents fordairy purposes shows, that at stated 

 market prices, under otherwise corresponding circumstances, and 

 when used in equal weight parts, they may serve in place of each 

 other without materially affecting the financial side of the operation 

 one v\^ay or the other. In case the new process Linseed-meal is used, 

 the net cost of the milk is somewhat less ; on account of the laiger 

 amount of fertilizing elements it contains, which increase, somewhat, 

 the value of obtainable manure, (see rations 6 and 7, and 8 and 9). 

 This advantage is, however, in the majority of instances, to some 

 extent, compensated for by a somewhat more liberal yield of milk, in 

 case of Old Process Linseed-meal has been fed. As the old process 

 Linseed-oil cake meal has a well established reputation as a 

 suitable food constituent for dairy cows, the New Process Linseed- 

 Meal may claim a similar position in the front rank of concentrated 

 feed stuffs for dairy purposes. A careful seleclion of suitable asso- 

 ciated fodder constituents is, however, in both instances, necessary 

 to show their real, economical value. A comparison of the yield of 

 milk obtained, in the majority of cases, during feeding periods III, 

 IV, with those of periods VI, VII, VIII, and IX cannot fail to 

 render that point prominent.
