150 Annual Report for 1905 of the Consulting Chemist. 
lumpy, indigestible cake. A correspondent complained of the 
cake he had bought as being very “crumbly.” A sample gave 
on analysis : — 
Per cent. 
Oil 10-69 
Albuminoids ..... 40‘69 
(Containing nitrogen .... 6*51) 
This cake was free from borax, and was of quite good 
quality ; the fault of being “ crumbly ” was really one in the 
right direction. 
In one case I found decorticated cotton cake to be 
adulterated with admixture of some fibrous matter not derived 
from cotton seed at all. It gave, on analysis, excessive fibre 
and low nitrogen, viz. : — 
Per cent. 
Fibre ....... 9"06 
Nitrogen . . . . . . 5*69 
The cake, as a consequence of my report, was returned to 
the vendor. 
4. Compound Feeding Cakes arid Meals. 
These, as usual, have presented great variations as regards 
both analytical results and the constituents of which they have 
been composed. The cases here mentioned emphasise the 
necessity of buying mixed feeding cakes and meals with a 
guaranteed analysis, and under the further proviso that the 
materials used shall all be sound and of good feeding value.
