Suggestion : — The professor should try to secure exhibits of 

 the various natural and commercial feeds in order to make the 

 study of these few sections more interesting and instructive. 

 Most of the natural feeds may be easily obtained at home. If 

 you write to the following concerns and state that you wish 

 J4 to J^ a pound of each of their products for demonstration, 

 I believe you will have no difficulty in collecting an elaborate 

 exhibit, provided you are connected with a college or a high 

 school. The student or the farmer cannot expect to receive 

 these exhibits.
