It is important to properly interpret the facts displayed in the 
above tables in their practical relations to the stockman. It is to 
be noted in the first place that the prices of these various mixed 
feeds are in many cases fully equal to what a mixture of whole 
corn and oats would have cost at the time the samples were taken. 
This being so, it is fair to inquire whether the by-product com- 
binations of the class we are discussing are equal in value to the 
entire cereal grains. The principal fact to be considered in this 
connection is that nearly all of the feeds mentioned above contain 
a generous proportion of oat offals, largely hulls. This is shown 
in two ways, viz.: by the high proportion of woody fiber and by 
the low protein content. Oats contain more fiber than any other
