 for stock feeding, but its by-products from the mills in the South 

 are available in considerable quantity for that purpose. Accord-

follows: 



95 pounds clean rice, all grades. 



8 pounds polish. 



30 pounds bran. 



29 pounds chaff, stra-w, trash, dust, etc

 hence a valuable manure results from usiag this feed. Accord-
