Scientific Stock Feeding for Profit by
P. w. Foote Of IIviDgton, Ky was the
first subject at the sixth session. This
was the most scientific, yet the plainest
and most easily understood Of any SUBJ
ect Of the entire Institute. It was the
best received and the most able and ex-
haustive talk ever delivered to Perry
county Institute audience. The Doctor
said Foods contain protein, ash, car
bohydrates and fat, all Of which are
Of importance to the feeder. OF these
protein is the most important. Food
stuGfs containing a very large percentage
protein make the most dollars for the
feeder. Protein makes lean flesh, mus
Cl,s, tendons, hoofs, horns, hair and
wool. Carbohydrates makes heat and
energy--the same as fuel for the locomO-
tive. The kinds OF food and the perCen-
tage of protein carbohydrates, ETC., pre-
sentel by the Doctor we're quite extern
sive aud presented in a manner that
pleased and interested the entire audi
ence and are found in Farmers Bulletin
No. p for which address Secretary of
Agriculture, Washington, d. o Wheat
bran or cotton seed meal is usually
cheaper feed to buy than corn when you
haye an abundance Of corn slower espeC-
tally for milk COWS, calves, pigs, ETC."

cost from so cents TO 5000. The so cent
boxes are Just as good, as acceptable, and
as safe as the Sc 90 ones but not 80 fancy
Let the government know what you
want through your senators, A major.
ity of the senators are pledged to appro
pirate 100000 for free rural delivery
Those who petition for it will get the
benefit of this money. The government
will not force it on you just yet.
