Feeds; Animal nutrition. LEADING CEREALS AND THEIR BY-PRODUCTS 129 chief bread plant of many ancient nations, it is now used almost wholly for brewing, pearling, and stock feeding. The hull of the grain of ordinary brewing barley or of Scotch barley constitutes about 15 per ct. of its total weight. California feed barley, grown extensively in some sections of the "West, has more hull and weighs 45 lbs. or less per bushel; while the usual weight of common barley is 48 lbs.
