For cows of a greater or less weight than 900 pounds a 

 proportionately greater or less weight of the mixture should 

 be fed. 



It is frequently more convenient, although somewhat less 

 accurate, to measure rather than weigh out the various 

 amounts of grain mixtures. Since the quart is a common 

 and suitable unit of measure for this purpose on the farm, 

 the following table has been prepared to show the average 

 weight of one quart and the amount of one pound of dif- 

 ferent feeding stuffs.
