INSPECTION OF FEEDING STUFFS 



protein and 4.00 divided by 3.50 or 1.1 lbs. of fat. Feed number 

 240 sells for $2.75 and is guaranteed 25.00 per cent protein and 



6.00 per cent fat. Then one dollar buys 25 divided by 2.75 or 



9.1 lbs. of protein and 6 divided by 2.75 or 2.2 lbs. of fat. 



In other ivords, in feed number 240 the consumer receives nearly 

 three times as much protein and twice as much fat per dollar as 

 in feed number 118. These figures represent two feeds of the same 

 type which were sold in Neiv Hampshire in 1921. In comparing 

 feeds of the same class this method shows fairly accurately their 

 relative value. When feeds of different types, like a cottonseed and 

 a hominy feed, are compared, the digestible protein figures should 

 be compared and the carbohydrates must also be taken into con- 

 sideration. 



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

 tien and fat one dollar would buy for all of the feedstuffs analyzed 

 in 1921.
