PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Farinaceous Food for Animals.
I, AUGUSTE BRUNIER,, of Marseille, in the Republic of France, Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object novel compositions of farinaceous food for animals
consisting of meal obtained from the.nielles (Nigella or Fennel flower,) and from the
husks of maize after the grain has been removed.
These substances may be further mixed with meal obtained from other kinds of
grain and with any suitable oilcake.
The number and proportions of these different materials will be varied more or less
according to the climate of the country where they are to be used. Each country
possesses pastorage more or less rich in nitrogen, and the mixture of the different
meals and the quantity used will vary accordingly, that is to say the improved foods
should be made more or less astringent or laxative according to the country where they
are to be consumed.
The improved food is valuable not only for milch cows and for oxen, but also for
pigs, sheep, and horses, the constituent parts and the quantity used being varied as
may be found advisable.
The essential characteristic of the improved cattle food is the use of nielles and
husks of maize, substances hitherto valueless, with the addition to the meal obtained
from them of the meal of one or more kinds of grain, or of such grain unground, or
of oilcake.
'
The improved food is cheap, and economical and effective in use.
It is necessary that the composition of the food should be very carefully determined,
and though I do not confine myself to the precise compositions and proportions of the
ingredients, I have found the following give good results.

I, AUGUSTE BRUNIRR, of Marseille, in the Republic of France, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement (that
is to say):-
This invention has for its object novel compositions of farinaceous food for animals

Each country possesses pasturage more or less rich in nitrogen, and the mixture of
the different meals and the quantity used will vary accordingly, that is to say the

It is necessary that the composition of the food should be very carefully determined,
and though I do not confine myself to the precise composition and proportions of the
ingredients, I have found the following give good results.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
The food for animals, composed substantially of the ingredients herein set forth.
