Both sorts of cakes are still very rich in oil owing partly 
to the insufficiency of the presses employed, but chiefly to 
the cooling of the mass while it is being pressed. A part 
of the so called wax, which has a high melting point, thus 
solidifies and cannot be obtained. 
At present these cakes arc generally applied as a manure 
to paddy fields, but those from the kernels might probably 
be quite suitable as food for cattle and, in small proportions, 
also*for horses, as they are rich in protein and fat. The 
manorial value is shown by the following figures which give 
the composition of 1000 parts of the air dry substance :
