22 MAINE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION, IQOO. 



The guarantee is 34.12 per cent protein and 3.20 per cent fat, 

 and the average of the 1 1 analyses is 32.99 per cent protein and 

 2.63 per cent fat. 



King gluten meal from the Des Moines mill agrees fairly- 

 well in composition with its guarantee, being on the average .6 

 per cent below in protein and .3 per cent in fat. The King 

 gluten from the Indianapolis mill is richer in protein and lower 

 in fat and more nearly resembles Chicago gluten meal in com- 

 position. It is much below the guarantee in fat, but is three 

 per cent above the guarantee in protein. 



Buffalo gluten feed agrees quite closely with the guarantee of 

 25.50 per cent protein and 4 per cent fat. 



Blatchford's Calf meal was not guaranteed. The dealers were 

 reported to the Secretary of Agriculture. 



Cleveland Flax meal is much below the guarantee in protein. 

 The two lots examined have been reported to the Secretary of 

 Agriculture. The average of four samples of Cleveland linseed 

 oil meal shows it to be 1 per cent below guarantee in protein. 



S. A. & J. H. True Company's linseed oil meal averages 7 per 

 cent below the guarantee in protein ; the cases have been re- 

 ported to the Secretary of Agriculture. 



The International Milling Company's Sucrene Oil meal agrees 

 fairly well with the guarantee, 'ihe same is true of S. A. & 

 J. H. True Company's corn and oat feed and monarch oat 

 feed. Victor corn and oat feed runs lower in protein than 

 in the past. It is guaranteed to carry 9.46 per cent protein. 

 While two samples carried more protein than this, two samples 

 had only 7.31 per cent and 16 samples averaged 8.25 per cent of 

 protein. 



Dairy feed, Quaker oat feed, the H-O Company's feed, the 

 H-O Company's Dundee corn and oat feed, the H-O Com- 

 pany's horse feed, and the H-O Company's poultry feed all 

 practically agreed with the guarantee. 



The guarantee of Nash Manufacturing Company's beef scrap 

 was based upon an analysis made by the Station of a sample 

 which they sent for that purpose. Evidently the sample did not 

 represent the output. The company and the dealers have been 

 reported to the Secretary of Agriculture. The other poultry 

 meals analyze above their guarantee. The Bowker Company 

 have furnished a guarantee for their beef scraps.
