APPENDIX 



AVERAGE WEIGHTS OF FEEDING STUFFS 



As a rule under average farm conditions, it is not practicable 

 to weigh each mess of food, nor is it necessary, as measuring 

 is sufficiently accurate. The food from the measure should 

 be wieighed a few times at the beginning. To aid in approxi- 

 mating the weight of the various foods, the following table 

 of weights and measures is quoted from Farmers' Bulletin 

 No. 222:- Table I
