These rations, however, are intended to show chiefly 

 good proportions of the various materials; the amounts 

 should be adjusted by the feeder to best meet the require- 

 ments of the individual animal. Care in respect to feed- 

 ing is quite as important as the selection of the various 

 products. The amount and kind of concentrated feed 

 are also matters of importance. The highly nitrogenous 

 cottonseed, linseed, and gluten meals must be fed in 

 small amounts, ranging from two to four pounds per day
