digestible fat multiplied by 24 in a food and the result will be a 
measure of the digestible material in that food. This sum is called 
the total nutriment of the food. 
Divide the price per ton, which may be obtained from the local 
feed dealer, by the pounds of total nutriment in one ton. The re- 
sult is the cost of one pound of total nutriment. The pounds of 
total nutriment in one ton of the common foods are found in column 
two of the table below. Put the price per ton of the foods available 
in column three and compute the cost of one pound of total nutri- 
ment ineach. Choose for the ration, from the foods desirable from 
other standpoints, those foods which yield total nutriment the 
cheapest.
