 pounds, per ton, a difference of 42 per cent.

While this article is not sold in our markets to any extent 

 just at present, samples obtained a year ago showed the 

 above variations. 



The figures given, and many more that could be cited 

 were it necessary, prove conclusively that the concentrated 

 feeds vary widely in composition and in consequent feeding 

 value.
