FEEDING WITH SUGAK BEETS, SUGAR, ETC. 



The fodders to be added must make up for this, deficiency , 

 and the kind, depend upon the market price and' the locality in 

 which the farm is situated. It must be noticed that the ration 

 as it exists is entirely too wide, hence there should be added a 

 fodder with narrow ratio. The tables show that 9 Ibs. of wheat 

 middlings will very nearly furnish what is needed, and as they 

 may be had at a low price they may be used.

 work must be restored to, but by their use the problem is 

 solved almost at a glance. In the calculations one could enter
