25 parts of animal meal, 5 parts each of wheat bran and malt 
sprouts, 3 parts each of wheat middlings and Buffalo gluten meal, 
and 2 parts each of buckwheat middlings and pea meal. ‘The 
contrasted ration consisted of wheat, corn and a mixture, No. 4, 
composed of 12 parts of wheat bran, 11 parts of King gluten 
meal, 9 parts each of malt sprouts, buckwheat middlings and 
bone ash, 6 parts of O. P. linseed meal, 5 parts of pea meal, 4 
parts of corn meal, 3 parts each of brewer’s grains and ground 
flaxseed, and 2 parts of wheat middlings. To every 360 pounds 
of each mixture one pound of salt was added. The ducklings 
had wheat bran and corn meal with each of the contrasted mix- 
tures. Green alfalfa was fed to every lot. Sand and coarse 
grit were liberally supplied to the chicks and ducklings and grit 
and oyster shells to the hens. 
The valuations assumed for the foods have been mentioned on 
page 78. The average composition of each food used in these 
experiments is shown in the following table. Special analyses 
of the green alfalfa and alfalfa hay were not made but the aver- 
age of many analyses showing the composition of numerous sam- 
ples fed in previous experiments were used in the calculation of 
rations. See page 79.
