HOW TO USE TABLE HI. 



The use of Table III can be well illustrated by examples. Given 

 82.50 as the value of 100 pounds of barley, what is the corresponding 

 value per bushel? Look for §2.50 in column headed 'Value per 100 

 pounds, barley." Opposite this value in column "Value per bushel" 

 is given the corresponding value of barley per bushel, which is $1.20. 



RELATIVE VALUE OF FEEDS. 



The selling price of a feed is not a reliable guide to its relative 

 feeding value. The carbohydrate feeds (corn, oats, barley, kafir, 

 and various others) and the protein feeds (cotton-seed meal, tank- 

 age, and brewers' grains) are found on the market at various prices. 

 The feeder wants to know, with certain given prices, "What is the 

 cheapest feed to buy — what is the true value of a bushel of oats, rye, 

 or barley for feed when corn is worth 80 cents a bushel, or what is 

 the value of a ton of brewers' grains, linseed meal, or bran when 

 cotton-seed meal is worth 830 per ton and corn a dollar a bushel?" 

 In the following pages there are presented tables, by the use of which 

 these questions can be answered. 



RELATIVE VALUE OF PROTEIN FEEDS. 



In localities in which the cheapest and most available feeding 

 stuffs are deficient in protein and where, in consequence, it is neces- 

 sary to buy nitrogenous concentrates as a means of balancing the 

 ration, the feeders problem is to obtain the needed protein with the 

 smallest possible outlay of money. The method here outlined 

 shows how this mav be done.
