The net cost of feed is obtained by deducting eighty per 

 cent, of the commercial value of the fertilizing constituents 

 it contains from its first cost. The manurial value of 

 the feed consumed during the feeding experiments, after 

 deducting twenty per cent, for the amount of fertilizing 

 constituents lost in the production of milk, is at current 

 market prices in every instance more than one-third of the 

 original cost of the feed.
