The average market price for the month is used in com- 

 puting the value of the products fed out, and for January 

 was as follows: Corn fodder $3.00 per ton; skim milk 

 15c per hundred; hay $6.00 per ton; oats 31c per bushel; 

 corn on the *cob 35c per bushel; barley 35c per bushel. 



The cattle were fed shredded corn fodder, 136 Ibs. on the 

 5th, 134 Ibs. on the 15th, and 135 Ibs. on the 25th, making 

 an average of 135 Ibs. for each of the three days when the 

 weights were taken. The daily average weight of un- 

 shredded fodder is found to have been 140 Ibs. Thus, the 

 cattle consumed daily during the month of January 275 

 Ibs. of shredded and unshredded corn fodder. The total 

 weight for the 31 days of the month was 31 times 275 Ibs. 

 or 8525 Ibs., and the value of this quantity at $3.00 per 

 ton is $12.79. 



The ground feed, hay, and skim milk fed the cattle should 

 likewise be figured. The feeds fed the horses, hogs, and 

 poultry should also be computed and the proper extensions 

 made.
