 content. The one lowest in Crude Fiher being placed first, etc. 



TABLE III. 



ARRANGED WITH REFERENCE TO CRUDE FIBER. 



* F. O. B. Chicago 



It will be noticed by a reference to the above table that a low per- 

 centage of crude fiber is not a proof of a high protein percentage. It 

 is, however, a proof of the absence in large quantities of oat hulls, corn- 

 cobs, etc. The point here is not that a feeding stuff should be rejected 

 simj)ly because it contains a considerable amount of crude fiber, but it 

 should be rejected unless it contains sufficient protein to balance the 

 high percentage of crude fiber. The feeder cannot aff'ord to pay for 

 crude fiber when he has an abundance of it on l^is own farm.
