Note to the Teacher.—The opportunity is offered in this 
lesson to summarize the entire subject of feeding, and 
to combine the practical phases with the fundamental 
scientific facts. A ration might be compounded that 
would be balanced in the proper sense, and yet be so 
bulky that it could not be entirely consumed; or it might 
be so unappetizing as to be largely rejected. Bring the 
‘student to see the importance of rational feeding, of 
growing the feeds at home, and of using them to the 
very best advantage.
