The above feedstuff's are divided into starchy and protein feeds. 

 The former are purchased primarily to increase the digestible matter 

 in the daily ration, while the latter are bought not alone to give more 

 digestible material but to inciease the protein, in the ration feed 

 to the animal. 



It is not possible in this connection to show the relative effects of 

 the various feed stuffs on the flow of milk or the production of beef. 

 The figures are offered rather as a key to the comparative commercial 

 values of the different feeds based on the nutrients contained in them. 

 Thus if corn meal is worth 100, Quaker oat feed would be worth 85 ; 

 or if wheat bran is worth 85, cottonseed meal would be worth 152. 

 These figures can be easily converted into dollars. Thus if corn 

 meal is worth $16 per ton or 100, Quaker oat feed would be worth 

 85 per cent of Sl6 or $13.50, the amount the farmer can afford to 

 pay for the oat feed. Again with cottonseed meal worth $22, what

**The 110 value refers to fine light-colored middlings with 19 per cent protein.
