a mixture of eight quarts of corn meal and sixteen quarts of 
wheat middlings. Then cook about five minutes. This material 
is then put through a plate having perforations, for old yearling 
trout, three-sixteenths of an inch in diameter; for two year old 
trout, one quarter of an inch in diameter; and for the larger fish, 
of five-sixteenths of an inch in diameter; in order to produce the 
vermicelli-like substance which you have seen. While cooking,

makes this food ? 
Mr. Marks:. The Bowker Company, 44 Chatham street, Bos-

Mr. Titcomb: I understand this food is especially useful at 
stations where you cannot have fresh meat always available, and
