linseed, and that genuine linseed-cake would be that which wai 
the honest product of the linseed, though the linseed had not beei 
screened. There seems to be a third and inferior kind that the' 
call " Ordinary ;" what that is exactly, I do not know, I shouh 
myself say that a man who speaks of linseed-cake, though he ma^ 
call it " Ordinary," would be bound to supply something whic 
was principally composed of linseed : but that question does no 
arise so directly as the other. Now, you know Mr. Kidd tell 
us the mode in which they do it. It has been described, and n« 
doubt you have attended to it thoroughly ; it is this, they havi 
the linseed, and, when they have got it there, they have to screei 
it ; when they are going to make pure linseed-cake, there i. 
first of all a rough screening which has only the effect of taking 
away the dirt, and we have nothing to do with that. Then whei 
the linseed is put upstairs and they are going to make pure linseed- 
cake, they pass it through three screens and the effect of that is 
to separate nearly all the seeds. Out of that they squeeze thi 
oil and make the pure cake of which I think there was no com- 
plaint whatever, and upon which there has been no imputatioi 
cast. Then there is this other thing : these screenings are pu 
aside and I shall have to say a word presently to you upon that— 
there is this other kind of linseed-cake, which has been described 
Looking back to Mr. Kidd's evidence, I see he does say that ir 
making this " Triangle Best," they do screen it ; he went on after- 
wards and said that the " Genuine " linseed-cake was not screened 
That is what misled me in my recollection about that. He doe; 
say it was screened, but he only said screened once. The mat 
called this morning, said when they were going to make it, the} 
screened the linseed twice — I do not know that very much turns 
upon that ; but when it has been passed down and passed intc 
the hoppers and into the rollers and brought to the grinding* 
machine, they there put in for every 50 parts of linseed, 30 o) 
this broken sesame and 20 of bran — I think that is the proportion 
— and then they are mixed up together, and when they have 
been all mixed up together under the stones, and ground, they are 
then put into the kettles and so on, and the oil is squeezed oul 
and the product which remains is not the product of the linseed 
which was used for the purpose of extracting the oil, but it is 
the product of the linseed with an equal bulk of those foreign 
ingredients which have been added to it. Now, it is quite true 
what was said, that any man has the right to make that manufac- 
ture and sell it, provided he sells it for what it is. If Mr. Kidd 
published to the world, " I make Kidd's Food for Cattle " (and 
he may tell them or not what it is made of), " and I say it is excel- 
lent stuff and I will sell it," that is all fair and proper ; but if he 
has made this which is half linseed, with the intention, and for the
