TABLE 9 

 PRODUCTION VALUES PER 100 POUNDS OF VARIOUS FEEDING STUFFS 



The following table is computed according to Kellner (Pennsylvania 

 Bulletin No. 84, Farmers' Bulletin No. 346). The figures in the last 

 column give approximate comparative values of different feeds for 

 producing gains in mature fattening cattle. A pound of timothy hay 

 produces |r as much gain as a pound of corn. Clover hay is ^f as 

 effective as oats. While these figures are for fattening cattle, it seems 

 probable that they represent the relative values of these feeding stuffs 

 for sheep and, probably, for horses, and for growth and milk-produc- 

 tion as well as for fattening. They are unquestionably the best approxi- 

 mation that we have to the comparative values of these feeds. (See page 

 289.)
