SOME SUGGESTIONS IN PURCHASING FEEDS 



1. Compare the cost of feeds with their analyses 

 even within the same class, and buy the feeds which offer 

 the greatest value for the dollar. High grade feeds are the 

 most economical. 



2. Beware of misleading brand names indicating 

 unusual feeding value. Let the analysis rather than the 

 brand name determine the value. 



3. Grow legumes or high protein crops for roughage 

 and buy less of the expensive protein feeds. 



4. In buying compounded feeds consider the constitu- 

 ents of which the feed is composed.
