With these few facts clearly in mind, a start 

 can be made, using the form given below for

As such a ration is lacking in all necessary 

 elements, we must proceed to try different feeds, 

 carefully noting in figuring up the totals what 

 elements are lacking, until we end with a ration 

 about as follows:
