GLUTEN FEEDING STUFFS. 
Gluten meal of good quality is*one of 
the highly nitrogenous foods, and at the 
same time, it is relatively cheap. We 
have fed it liberally for long periods of 
time, in much the same way as we use 
bran, and in like amounts. It does tend 
to make a soft butter when fed in large 
amounts, but as we have usually fed it 
in connection with ensilage and roots, 
we have never noticed that it was par¬ 
ticularly constipating. We have never 
perceived any undesirable flavor in either 
milk or butter from its use. H. n. WING.

The various gluten products differ de¬ 
cidedly in their feeding values. The 
gluten feeds are usually less rich than 
the meals, and are not quite as likely to 
cause trouble, either with the animal’s 
health, or with the quality of the butter, 
as are the meals. We have fed gluten 
products quite largely at one time and 
another in an experimental way, and 
have not found them constipating. We 
have sometimes found the gluten meals 
troublesome in causing digestive troubles 
—garget and the like. 
I would consider the gluten feeds, as a 
rule, to rank in an intermediate class. 
Some of them are hardly rich enough in 
protein to be termed nitrogenous, while 
others will run 25 per cent or more of 
protein. They arc, in brief, too variable 
in composition to enable them to be 
classed in a satisfactory manner as a 
whole. 
Reports touching the effect of gluten 
products upon the quality of butter are 
conflicting. I am inclined to think, how¬ 
ever, that the consensus of these reports 
indicates that the effect is towards soft¬ 
ening the product. We have not fed 
more than four pounds a day of the 
Buffalo gluten feed to a cow. 1 am in¬ 
clined to think that this is as much as it 
is wise to feed. Of course, you under¬ 
stand that cows differ in their digestive 
powers, and some might find even this 
amount too much for them, while others 
could take more with safety. We have 
not fed other gluten feeds, most of our 
feeding trials upon this class of materials 
being made upon the meals. J. L. HILLS. 
Vermont Experiment Station. 
Gluten meals and feeds are by-products 
from the manufacture of glucose from 
corn. The greater part of the starch of 
the corn is separated and converted, by 
a chemical process, into glucose. The 
different parts of the process of separa¬ 
tion leave behind several by-products, 
nearly all of which are rich in gluten or 
protein. 
The method of preparing the various 
gluten products is essentially as follows: 
The corn is first soaked in -water several 
hours to loosen the hulls. It is then 
ground between loosely-set millstones, 
and the hulls and germs are removed by 
bolting. This portion is commonly 
treated with naphtha to remove most of 
the oil, and is sold as gluten feed. Some¬ 
times the hulls and germs are separated, 
the former being sold as corn bran, and 
the latter as germ meal. The gluten and 
starch, of the main part of the kernel, 
which passes through the bolting cloths, 
is then soaked in several tanks of water, 
the starch settles to the bottom, and the 
gluten and oil are removed from the top. 
This gluten and oil are sometimes sold 
as cream gluten, but more commonly the 
oil is extracted and the remaining gluten 
is mixed with the hulls and the germs 
and sold as gluten meal. The two most 
common of these by-products in our mar¬ 
kets are the gluten meal and the gluten 
feed, and from the process of manufac¬ 
ture, it may be seen that the main dif¬ 
ference between them is that the gluten 
meal contains more of the gluten or pro¬ 
tein. In the present process of manu¬ 
facture, this is equal fo about five per 
cent of protein in favor of the gluten 
meals. 
We have never observed any ill effects 
upon the animal from the use of any of 
the gluten feeding stuffs. They are 
among the best and most economical of 
our nitrogenous feeds. Many milk pro¬ 
ducers in the East feed heavily of the 
gluten meals and gluten feeds. They 
are generally claimed to be nearly equal 
to cotton-seed meal for keeping up the 
quality of milk, and are much safer to 
use in large quantities. As high as from 
four to six pounds per day of gluten feed, 
and three to four pounds of gluten meal, 
are often fed by milkmen. In making 
high-grade butter, they should be used 
in smaller quantities. When fed in large 
quantities, they tend to produce a soft, 
oily butter, although we have observed 
no ill effects on the flavor. If fed with 
cotton-seed meal, the latter tends to 
counteract the effects of the gluten on 
the softness of the butter—the cotton¬ 
seed meal having a tendency to produce 
a hard, waxy product. Three pounds per 
day (about two quarts) are as much of 
either gluten meal or gluten feed as it is 
wise to feed, if the best grade of butter 
is desired. 
It is said on good authority that chill¬ 
ing the cream and holding it for several 
hours at about 45 degrees just before 
eliurning. will do much to counteract the 
softness in butter due to heavy feeding 
of gluten, and tend to produce a better 
grain in the butter. c. s. phelps.

Selecting Calves.—As to the dairy indications 
in a young heifer calf, I would say that I would 
kill at birth only those that plainly show that 
they would not do for the dairy, because of some 
defect, like the teats being too close together, 
etc. I would also kill at once a calf that seems 
disposed to be sickly in any way, and one that 
shows weak constitution. It is true that such a 
calf might come out all right, and each breeder 
must use his own discretion in the matter.
