PREFACE 



ment Stations or the United States Department of Agriculture, must often 

 be consulted, and in some cases, knowledge drawn from practical feeding 

 experience. It will be found that the interest of the student in the subject 

 will be quickened by this method of instruction, and that it will better prepare 

 him to grapple with the feed problems of the farm later on that will present 

 themselves, than if he were merely required to go through some problems of 

 arithmetic relating to the feeding of stock, however valuable these may be. 

 February, 1917
