In other words, in feed number one the consumer receives 

 nearly 50 per cent more protein and twice as much fat per dol- 

 lar as in feed number two. These figures represent two feeds of 

 the same type wliich were sold in New Hampshire in 1920. In 

 comparing feeds of the same class this method shows fairly ac- 

 curately their relative value. When feeds of different types, like 

 a cottonseed and a hominy feed, are compared, the digestible pro- 

 tein figures should be compared and the carbohydrates must also 

 be taken into consideration. 



Table Number 4 shows the average number of pounds of pro- 

 tein and fat that one dollar would buy for all of the feedstuifs 

 analyzed in 1920.
