INSPECTION OF FEEDING STUFFS 



pounds of protein and 4.00 divided by 2.70 or 1.5 pounds of 

 fat. Feed number 122 sells for $2.10 per 100 pounds and 

 is guaranteed 13.00 per cent, protein and 4.50 per cent. fat. 

 Then one dollar buys 13.00 divided by 2.1 or 6.1 pounds of 

 protein and 4.50 divided by 2.10 or 2.1 pounds of fat. 



In other uwrds in feed number 122 the consumer receives 

 almost tivice as much protein and half again as much fat 

 per dollar as in feed number 22. These figures represent 

 two feeds of the same type which were sold in Neiv Hamp- 

 shire in 1922. In comparing feeds of the same class this 

 method shows fairly accurately their relative value. When 

 feeds of different types like a cottonseed meal and a hominy 

 feed are compared the digestible protein figures should be 

 compared and the carbohydrates must also be taken into 

 consideration. 



Table Number 4 shows the average number of pounds of 

 protein and fat one dollar would buy for each class of the 

 feeding-stuffs analyzed in 1922.
