PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Cattle-feeding Cake.
I, CECIL ARTHUR COOMBE George Street, Sheffield, in the County of York
Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the production of an improved cattle feeding cake or
biscuit from a basis of brewers grains which have been previously desiccated other-
wise than in vacuo, or under diminished atmospheric pressure.
In carrying out my invention I use any convenient means or machinery for
combining or mixing the materials from which the cake or biscuit is to be made, and
I may vary the combination of the ingredients according to the nature and special
purpose of the desired mixture; but I use for ordinary purposes and as additions to
the above mentioned desiccated brewers grains, ground linseed cake, decorticated
cotton-seed cake, earthnut cake, palunnut meal, beans, peas, bran, pollards, malt culms
or dust, and either singly, or two or more in combination.
In other cases I employ locust beans, sugar, molasses, beet and other saccharine
substances, and I may flavour the mixture with salt, nitre, spice, or similar substance
or substances.
In cases where I desire to produce a cake consisting almost wholly of desiccated
brewers grains I add simply so much of other materials as may be necessary to impart
coherence to the cake without regard to their food value, and I employ by preference,
gum, dextrin, starch, gelatin, farina, albumin, or algin.
Having made the mixture of the ingredients in suitable proportions for the
intended purpose, I compress it into cakes, biscuits or other convenient forms, either
with or without the aid of heat.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Cattle-feeding Cake.
1, CECIL ARTHUR COOMBE George Street, Sheffield, in the County of York
Merchant 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 :-
This invention relates to the production of an improved cattle feeding cake, or
biscuit, from a basis of the waste or spent grains from breweries or distilleries which
have been previously desiccated otherwise than vacuo, or under diminished atmospheric
pressure.
By the term "basis" in the above connection I mean a proportion of at least one
half or 50 per cent. of the entire mixture.
In carrying out my invention I use any convenient means or machinery for
combining or unixing the materials from which the cake or biscuit is to be made, and
I may vary the combination of the ingredients according to the nature and special
purpose of the desired mixture; but I use for ordinary purposes and as additions to
the above mentioned desiccated brewers or distillers grains, ground linseed cake,
decorticated cotton seed cake, earthnut cake, palmnut meal, beans, peas, bran,
pollards, malt culms or dust, and either singly, or two or more in combination.
In other cases I employ locust beans, sugar, molasses, beet, and other saccharine
substances, and I may flavour the mixture with salt, nitre, spice, or similar substance
or substances.

brewers or distillers grains I add simply so much of other materials, as may be
necessary to impart coherence to the cake or biscuit without regard to their food
value, and I employ by preference gum, dextrin, starch, gelatin, farina, albumin, or
algin.

Having made the mixture of the ingredients in suitable proportions for the
intended purpose, 1. compress it into cakes, biscuits or other convenient forms, either
with or without the aid of heat, but I prefer in practice to compress the said mixture
whilst in a heated state and to keep it under such pressure until cool.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inveu-
tion, and the manner in which the same is to be performed, I doclare that what I
claim is
An improved cattle food cake, or biscuit, consisting of a combination of at least
50 per cent. of spent brewer's or distiller's grains, desiccated otherwise than in a
vacuum or under diminished pressure, with any substance or substances, which will
facilitate the adhesion of the particles, and the production of a coherent cake or
biscuit without the necessity for the use of excessive pressure.
Dated the zord day of May 1890.
