It is seen that gluten meal waa a cheaper feed than oil meal at 

 the prices stated. Where gluten meal was fed with other grains,

 cattle these feeding stuffe (gluten meal and oil meal) are approxi-

 can be bought for the least money is the one to use." As yet 

 the feeding value of this class of corn by-products has been passed 

 unnoticed by those who fatten cattle; if experience shall confirm 

 their worth as substitutes for oil meal in the feed lot they v/ill 

 acquire a new interest with many. (161-164) 



547. Kaffir corn. — At the Kansas Station, » (5eorgeson divided 

 a bunch of twelve grade Short-horn and three grade Hereford 

 three-year-old steers into three lota of five each. For concentrates 

 the first lot was fed corn meal, the second red Kaflir-com meal, 

 and the third white Kaffir- corn meal. In each case the grain was 

 ground so fine that about three-fourths of the meal passed through 

 a sieve having a one-twentieth inch mesh. The roughage during 

 the first part of the trial consisted of Kaffir-corn stover; later corn 

 stover and alfalfa hay were fed. One hundred poimds of the 

 stover were fed daily to each lot of steers, and the rejected por- 

 tion weighed and deducted from the total, so that the weights 

 in the table are the amounts of forage actually consamed. The
