WEIGHTS OF FEFIDING STUFFS. 



For convenience of reference by those who measure instead of 

 weigh their stable feeds, a statement of quart weights as compiled 

 by Maj. H. E. Alvord, Chief of the Dairy Division, U. S. Dept. of 

 Agriculture, and by Mr. H. G. Manchester (Conn. Station Bulletin 

 No. 133, p. 13), are given below. Where differences are observed, 

 they may fairly be attributed to a difference in the mechanical condi- 

 tions of the material:
