VII. digestive })rotein fed should always be accompanied by a cer- tain ])roportion of digestible non-nitrogenous material made up of crude libre, fat and extractive. The crude protein is the nitrogenous portion of the food and is the most costly. Its chief work is tlie production of flesh and muscle. Cotton seed meal fed alone is a})t to produce "scouring" and diges- tive disturbance, hence the necessity of feeding it with less rich food is well Fig. 169 CaKe Gririder or Burr Mill. Rich as the cotton seed meal appears and poor as the hulls seem in comparison, yet within the last few years cotton seed hulls have come to the front as a valuable cattle food. While apparently so dry, tasteless and devoid of nourishment, chemical analysis shows that they yet contain substances of much value. The producers of cotton-seed oil formerly used their hulls as fuel, and do so now whenever the demand for the hulls is.
