FEED USED IN PRODUCING EGGS. 



The amount of feed used in producing a dozen eggs is shown in 

 Tables 8, 8a, and 8b. The cost of this feed for each period is shown 

 in Tables 7, 7a, and 7b. The amount of feed is given in addition to 

 the cost so that the cost can be more readily secured at any time 

 regardless of the comparative price of grains.
