as differentiated from "oil cake," the slabs from linseed oil factories. 

 The English and Scotch live stock breeders use this cake in large 

 amounts, because they are reasonably sure it has not been adulterated. 

 The ground form, "germ oil meal," recognized as different from "oil 

 meal" or "linseed meal," is used mostly east of the Mississippi river. 

 This product is very uniform in composition and contains a large 

 amount of ash. 



Starch Feeds. Often with smaller glucose factories located 

 in districts where considerable feeding is carried on, the by-products 

 are sold collectively under the head of "Starch Feeds." Sometimes 

 they are taken from the factory in the wet condition. They are in 

 such case known as "wet starch feeds" or "wet glucose feed" and are 

 variable in percentage of digestible nutrients. When dried they may 

 be mixed with other feeds. 



Hominy Chops. The hull, germ, and the starchy refuse from 

 the hominy factory, are sold collectively under the term "hominy 

 chops." Because of a uniformity in the composition of this feed it is 

 very popular on the market. This fact is evident from tests at Geneva, 

 New York.* The average of 7 samples showed 10.6 per cent 

 protein and 46 per cent starch and sugar. However, when the screen- 

 ings and pieces of cob are returned to this feed, the percentage of 

 crude fiber may run as high as 7 per cent. 



Distiller's Grains. In tests at the New Jersey Station** the 

 average of 2 samples of corn distiller's grains showed 5.79 per 

 cent water, 33.34 per cent protein, 12.05 P^r cent fat, and 11. 17 per 

 cent crude fiber. These were in the dried commercial form. As fed 

 at the distillery the solid material is not separated from the slop. In 

 this form the percentage of water runs as high as 94 per cent, with 

 only 1.90 per cent protein and .9 per cent fat. 



The New Corn Product. ■ Investigations by the*** Maryland Ex- 

 periment Station shows that this corn stalk product is much more val- 

 uable than the original stalk containing the pith. Not only does it 

 contain more absolute nutriment, but the nutriment contained is more 

 digestible. 



The following tabulated data from the Maryland Station shows 

 the relative feeding values of the new corn product, shredded corn 

 fodder, timothy hay, wheat bran, corn blades, and shucks. These 

 different feeds were fed to well bred steers and all excrement and 

 urine carefully collected for a period of seven days.
