FEEDING FARM ANIMALS 



linseed oil meal, $34; wheat bran, $30; and corn 

 meal, $30. At these prices a pound of silage will 

 be worth .1 cent; of corn stover, 4 cent; mixed 

 hay, .6 cent; oil meal, 1.7 cents; bran, 1.5 cents; and 

 corn meal, 1.5 cents. The cost of the two rations 

 would therefore be as follows : 

 Silage = (58 X -I) + (6.8 X .6) + (2 X 1.5) + 



(2 X 1-5) = iS-88 

 Grain = (47 X 4) + (64 X -6) + (2.5 X 1.5) + 



(5 X i-5) + (6 X 1.5) = 25.97 

 25.97 15.88 = 10.09 cents, the difference in cost 



of the rations.
