7. Two pounds alfalfa hay, two pounds ground corn 

 and oats. 



8. Two pounds clover hay, one and a half pounds soy 

 beans, one-quarter pound wheat bran. 



Substitute These combinations can be mixed in 



Barleu for ^ arge c l uantities f r flocks, and tne n 



wh ea t given out by totals the number of 



pounds to each sheep multiplied by the 

 number of sheep to be fed. 



Barley makes a good substitute for oats or wheat in 

 any one of the combinations, and may also be used in the 

 place of corn. 



Barley is easily grown in the more northerly climates 

 and is sure to come into more general use as a feed. It 

 can be planted in spring and the crop is to be counted on. 



Any farmer can take these combinations and alter them 

 to suit his own locality and finish sheep for market with 

 no risk whatever. It is only a matter of care if the right 

 combination of feeds is given. 



Combination hay and grain 

 rack, with grain troughs so con- 

 structed that they may be pulled to 

 back of rack and grain placed in
