COMMERCIAL FEEDING STUFFS IN NEW 
Pe ORK

SUMMARY. 
In buying feeding stuffs the farmer should understand both 
the general character of the material, and the source and general 
nature of the substances composing it. It is often as important 
to know that the desired ingredients are not furnished by oat 
hulls or other indigestible wastes as it is to know the amount of 
these ingredients. 
The terms nitrogenous and carbohydrate are too general to be 
used without modification in classifying feeding stuffs and the 
following four classes give a better grouping: 
Class I. Contain 30 per ct. to 45 per ct. protein and 50 per ct. 
to 60 per ct. carbohydrates: Cotton-seed meal, linseed meal and 
gluten meal. 
Class II. Contain 20 per ct. to 30 per ct. protein and 60 per ct. 
to 70 per ct. carbohydrates: Gluten feeds, Atlas meal, dried 
brewer’s grains, malt sprouts, buckwheat middlings and peas and 
beans.
