COMPARATIVE VALUE OF COTTONSEED MEALS 



Nineteen samples of cottonseed meals were analyzed. 

 Table 5 shows the number of samples analyzed under each 

 percentage, the price per 100 pounds and the average num- 

 ber of pounds of protein that one dollar will buy in each 

 class.

READY MIXED FEEDS SHOULD BE PROPERLY 



BALANCED 



In selecting a ready mixed feed such as a dairy feed 

 it is well to examine the analysis to determine that the feed 

 is properly balanced for use with the kind of roughage to 

 be fed. The Dairy Department of the University of New 

 Hampshire recommends for use with a high protein rough- 

 age a feed containing 15 per cent, crude digestible pro- 

 tein ; for use with a medium protein roughage a feed con- 

 taining 17 per cent, crude digestible protein; and for use 

 with a low protein roughage a feed containing 19 per cent, 

 crude digestible protein. The analysis of a feeding-stuff 

 shows the crude protein of which a portion is not diges- 

 tible. While it is not possible to give an accurate figure for
