INTRODUCTION V 



It is also important on account of these facts that we learn 

 the principles of feeds and feeding in order to more intelligent- 

 ly increase production with the least expenditure of time, labor 

 and money. 



The time has come when only those who understand feeding 

 are in a position to realize the maximum profits from live-stock. 

 The population of this country is rapidly increasing so that the 

 human race is consuming more and more of the grain every 

 year. The feeder of the future will perhaps find grain un- 

 profitable for feeding live-stock and he will be forced to utilize 

 the coarser foods, the by-products and the wastes. In order to 

 do this profitably, the principles of feeds and feeding must be 

 understood.
