Dr. hed2le, of Michigan, in discussing food
materials, made an analysis of seven vel
low varieties of corn and five white. The
average per cent of fat in the yellow corn
was found to be 4.02 and in the white 90
The average carbohydrates tstarch. fat,
sugar and guml. for yellow corn was found
TO be 74il. and for white 1871: He says:
The quality Of abuminoids and of mineral
matter in all these specimens of corn being
empe for all requirements of fattening
swine and the carbo-hydrates being nearly
the same In all. 1T would seem that their
value for fattening purposes is nearly the
same; II there is any difference it IS in
favor of white corn"
My experience of twenty-odd years sat
tsiied me that the feeding value of white
corn was fully equal to that of yellow.
DR.. Sturtevant,, of Geneva. N. Y. after
analyzing several varieties of corn, says:
Comparing the oily appearance of the
grains of the several varieties anaiyzt d, We
see that the oily look is confined to the va
rieties which have the, largest per cent of
gum, as shown by analysis, rather than of
fat. The eight rowed flint shows 6.l6 gum
and 4.S3 fat, while the chafy looking Tus-
carora shows gum LA and fat 5,T.'
II we We're TO judge Of the amount of
OIL in corn, no one would, from the chafy
appearance of TuSCarOra, say 1t con aimed
