TABLE GIVING COST OF ONE POUND AT A GIVEN PRICE AND WEIGHT PER 



BUSHEL. 



NOTE. The above table is made to aid in determining the cost of a ration. If it is desired 

 to ascertain the cost of a pound of oats when it sells for 23 cents per bushel, follow down the 

 column under the heading "When a Bushel Costs," until the number 23 is reached; then 

 to the right to the column headed "32," because there are 32 pounds in a bushel, where .719 

 is given as the price of 1 pound of oats. Multiplying this factor by the number of pounds 

 ot oats to be used in the ration gives 2.157 cents, the cost of 3 pounds of oats. If barley is 

 led, follow the line to the right until the column headed "48" is reached, which gives .479 

 as the cost of 1 pound of barley when a bushel costs 23 cents. If 4 pounds of barley are 

 fed the cost is 1.916 cents.
