APPENDIX 409 



up to 100,000 can be changed to bushels by selecting the proper 

 figure in the table or by merely adding two figures together. 

 A few examples may tend to assist in the use of the table. 



Example 



It is found that 1000 pounds of ear corn have been fed to 

 the swine during a given month, valued at $1.10 a bushel. 

 What is the total value? 



Solution 



1000 pounds of ear corn is 14 bu. 1 20 pounds. 14 bu. 20 

 pounds at $1.10 per bushel = $15.71. 



The Feed Conversion Table assists in the solution given 

 above by supplying the 14 bu. 20 pounds as being the number 

 of bushels of ear corn in 1000 pounds. The 14 bu. 20 pounds 

 are found in the last column under "Ear Corn (70 Ibs. per 

 bu.)," opposite the 1000 which is in the first or "Pounds" column. 



Example 



The feed record shows 1200 pounds of oats fed to horses 

 at $.60 a bushel in November. What is the total value? 



Solution 



1,200 Ibs. oats is 37 bu. 16 Ibs. 



37 bu. 16 Ibs. at $.60 per bu. = $22.50 



The Conversion Table shows that 1200 pounds of oats is 

 equivalent to 37 bu. 16 Ibs., or 37 1 /2 bu. 



Example 



Mr. Myers has 25,410 pounds of oats weighed for sale. How 

 much will he receive for them at 55 cents a bushel? 



"In the feed record it is necessary to consider grain only to the 

 nearest bushel when the total for a month or year is taken.
