Notes on Feeding Stuffs. 



33 



nut cake (both decorticated and undecorticated) and wheat 

 sharps are all under 3s. per food unit. These make a good 

 choice, from which rations suitable for most purposes can be 

 compounded. Ground nut cake is a concentrated highly 

 nitrogenous feeding stuff, containing also a fair proportion of 

 oil. Palm kernel and coconut cakes are also concentrated 

 foods less rich in protein and containing more carbohydrates. 

 Wheat sharps supply a very large proportion of carbohydrates, 

 mostly starch. The composition of these foods and most of 

 the other dearer foods on the market is given in Table II., 

 which has been revised in several details since last month.
