30 Rerorr or DePpARTMENT OF ANIMAL HUSBANDRY OF THE 
VALUATIONS OF FOODS. 
While there are continual fluctuations in the prices of feeding 
stuffs, the concentrated products usually cost much more than 
the ordinary grain foods. In estimating the cost of different 
rations for comparison, prices are taken that would not hold at 
all times, but which fairly represent the usual relative prices 
for the different materials. The foods used in the feeding trials 
reported in this bulletin were rated at the following prices: 
Corn meal, low grade flour and pea-meal at $22.50 per ton,- 
wheat bran at $19, wheat middlings at $21, germ gluten meal 
and Atlas “gluten meal” at $25.50, Chicago gluten meal at 
$26, cream gluten meal at $29.50, linseed meal at $29 per ton, 
corn at 60 cents per bushel, wheat at 87 cents per bushel and ail 
ereen fodder at $2 per ton. Meat meal, meat and bone and 
bone-meal were rated at $30, animal meal at $35, and blood 
meal at $50 per ton, “milk albumen” cost 3 cents per pound. 
The records from feeding for nine weeks with the results 
averaged for periods of one week are shown in the accompany- 
ing tables. :
