VALUE OF POTATOES AS FEED.-A sub
scriber asks us whether potatoes are worth
more than twenty-five cents per bushel for
feed. We do not think they are worth SO
much if fed raw, but when cooked we have
fed them to stock rather than sell them at
forty cents. Potatoes contain large per-
centage of starch from eleven to twenty-five
per cent and estimated to be worth more
than carrots, and half as much as hay, weight
for weight, but if fed raw, much of the starch,
which would be utilized if they were cooked,
escapes undigested.
