THE FEEDING OF LIVE STOCK. 183 



Owing to high price of corn-meal he fed to Ex- 

 position cows considerable corn hearts from 

 hominy mills and gluten feed. These were 

 liberally used with other grains. The corn 

 hearts, considering cost, gave satisfactory re- 

 sults. 



Digestible constituents in by-products. — 

 The following table is given by Prof. W. A. 

 Henry, in answer to a correspondent,* showing 

 the digestible constituents in 100 lbs. of each 

 of the by-products of corn: 



Protein. Carbohydrates. Fat. 



Corn ....7.11bs. 62.7 lbs. 4.2 lbs. 



Hominy chops 8.9 lbs. 61.9 lbs. 6.3 lbs. 



Corn germ 8. 9 lbs. 61.4 lbs. 5.6 lbs. 



Germ meal 9.3 lbs. 63.6 lbs. 4.1 lbs. 



Gluten meal 25.0 lbs. 49.4 lbs. 5.6 lbs. 



Each one of these contains more protein than 

 the corn, and the gluten meal more than three 

 times as much.
