34 I'ROFITAP.LE E'IGE()N BREEDING 



I have luTC woiketl out three torniiUae: 



NUMi5En ONE: 



100 lbs. ...14. 18 4.32 3.15 64.07 l.;)8 12.61 



111 relerring to tlie hrst talile \\e see that 100 pounds of 

 Canada peas eontain 23.7% of protein. In our formula above 

 we have used thirty potmds or three-tenths of a liundred pounds 

 therefore we multiply 23.7 liy .3 and get 7.11. Likewise, we se? 

 that 100 pounds of Canada iieas eontain 1.9% ol tiher. Therefore 

 we multiply 7.9 by .3 and get 2.37% or the amount of fiber con- 

 tained in thirty pounds of tliis grain. By this method of refer- 

 ring to tlie table on each constituent and multiplying the per- 

 centage per 100 pounds !)>• the fractional part of 100 pounds \\f 

 find the i)ereentage of that conslituent for the amount of grain 

 used. The formula just ^\■orked out is a good one in that it 

 contains the correct amount of |irotein, it is low in filjer and 

 has a moderate amount of fat.
