44 Report oF THE DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL HUSBANDRY OF THE 
eighteen samples of inferior goods found in the market of that 
State. 
This adulteration is probably brought about by grinding in 
hulls. These meals were sold in part under the name Sea Island 
Cotton-seed and probably were in all cases a mixture of the yellow 
meal and finely ground hulls. Farmers should avoid such goods. 
The sample of cotton-seed feed No. 552, the analysis of which 
appears in the above table as a means of contrasting it with 
cotton-seed meal, consists of cotton-seed hulls and is very inferior 
in value. 
LINSEED MEAL. 
Linseed meal is a by-product from the manufacture of linseed 
oil. It is often called oil meal. ‘“ Old process” oil meal is that 
from which the oil is obtained by pressure and “ new process” 
meal is the residue afer treating the crushed seed with a light 
naphtha. The former contains the more fat although owing to a 
change in the process the “old process” meal contains less fat 
than was formerly the case. 
By the older methods about 35 lbs. of oil was obtained from 
100 Ibs. of seed, but now the output is larger. 
The relative value of “ old process” and “ new process” meal 
is much discussed. Certainly there is no appreciable difference 
in palatableness and healthfulness, and no large difference in 
nutritive qualities. The protein of the latter appears to be some- 
what less digestible, due doubtless to the increased cooking to 
which the new process product, is subjected.
