Camelina  cake  is  made  from  the  seed  Camelina  sativa 
(Gold  of  Pleasure),  which  frequently  occurs  as  an  impurity 
in  linseed  cake.  The  cake  cost  &l.  5s.  per  ton  in  Hull.  It 
contained  too  much  sand,  but  in  addition  I found  that  it 
varied  much,  some  pieces  sent  me  being  of  camelina  seed 
only,  while  others  were  made  from  rape  seed,  or  contained 
admixture  of  rape  seed. 
Lupins  are  used  to  some  extent  for  sheep  in  Norfolk  and 
Suffolk,  but  they  need  to  be  fed  very  carefully,  and  should  only 
be  given  in  quite  small  quantity  at  first.  At  best  they  must  be 
considered  rather  a “ risky  ” food. 
The  other  two  materials  were  products  of  maize,  and  clean 
and  good  of  their  kind.
