The rates of charges used above are practically equiva- 

 lent to corn at 56 cents, 70 cents, 84 cents, 98 cents, $1.12, 

 and $1 .40 a bushel, respectively. By the use of some legume 

 hay of fine quality and a limited use of some nitrogenous 

 or protein supplement during the last six weeks of preg- 

 nancy, the feed cost under average conditions would be 

 reduced about 10 per cent.
