Aug., 1924] inspection of feeding stuffs 9 



In other words in feed numhcr 239 the consumer received 

 twice as much protein and more than twice as mucJi fat per dol- 

 lar as in feed number 48. These figures represent two feeds of 

 the same type which were sold in Nezv Hampshire in 1924. In 

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

 curately 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.

COMPARATIVE VALUE OF COTTONSEED MEALS 



Twenty-seven samples of cottonseed meals were analyzed- 

 Table 5 shows the number of samples analyzed under each per- 

 centage, the price per 100 pounds and the average number of 

 pounds of protein that one dollar will buy in each case.
