brewers Grains.

Dried brewers grains rank close
to bran in feeding value, containing
little more protein and fat, but not
quite so much carbohydrates. 1t IL
claimed that in 100 pounds of this
feed there are 1871 pounds of pro-
tein, 36.3 pounds of carbohydrates
and 81 pounds of fat. Malt sprouts
and dried brewers grains are valu-
able COW feeds, especially the lat
ter. Sprouts are richest in protein
but not much relished by cows and
should be fed only in limited quanti-
dies. Wet brewers grains are apt to
injure the quality of the milk.--Phil-
