TABLE V. 



Approximate cost of protein in the vanous grades of feeding stuffs reported in this bulletin. 



100 ponnds protein costs in- 



Bran at $18 00 per ton, about 

 Linseed Meals , (oil meals).. 



Cotton Seed Meals 



Gluten MeaL 



Gluten feeds

Clark's Dairy Food 



Low grade Oat Feeds 



The calculations made in Table ^^ represent the averages of the dif- 

 ferent feeds comino- under the heads designated and are based on the 

 prices quoted in Table I. A comparison of them from a commercial 

 standpoint is here very easily made and the lack of relation between 

 price and real value from a protein standpoint is very evident. Com- 

 pared on this basis the Low Grade Oat Feeds are nearly three times as 

 expensive as Bran, and over four times as costly as Cottonseed Meal. 

 They .may sell for less money but when their feeding values are calcu- 

 lated they will be found to be exceedingly costly sources of protein.
