In making *up grain rations cost must be considered, and 

 one should be familiar with the fluctuating market values of 

 the several feed stufls in order to make economical combina- 

 tions. The following figures show the approximate commer- 

 cial values of the difierent feeds, based on the amount of 

 digestible protein they contain : — 



Wheat bran, . 

 Corn meal, .

The above figures do not express the relative physiological 

 efiect of the difi"erent grains, but show their comparative 

 values in digestible protein after figuring the digestible 

 carbohydrates and fat at a definite price. They can be used 

 as guides in purchasing.
