WEIGHT OF DIFFERENT CONCENTRATED FEEDS. 



It is the common practice in Maine to feed by measure rather 

 than by weight, and since different feeding stuffs vary greatly in 

 weight, it is obviously unfair to compare the feeding values of 

 different feeding stuffs measure for measure. For instance, a 

 quart of cottonseed meal weighs one and one-half pounds, and 

 a quart of dried distillers' grains weighs less than half as much.. 

 To assist feeders who have no conveniences for weighing, the 

 following table, prepared by Mr. H. G. Manchester, West Win— 

 sted, Conn., is reprinted from Bulletin 145 of the Connecticut 

 Agricultural Experiment Station.
