 quality. 



Feeding stuffs of this character have the appear-

 not for preventive legislation the practice would

 tively low digestibility and must be considered as very much inferior 

 to pure wheat feeds in feeding value.

 very satisfactory grain rations and these, if the feeder is willing to. 

 pay the price and does not care to go the trouble of home mixing, 

 will be found very acceptable providing they do not contain in- 

 ferior by-products. It is believed, however, that it is possible 

 to home-mix fully as good rations out of the standard feeding
