LIGHT OATS VS.. HEAVY OATS.
They Practically Have the Same Feed
ing Value Pound for Pound.

The weight OF oats per bushel varies
from 30 pounds to so and even 90
pounds In some OF the western irrigat.
ed states. The Office OF experiment
stations notes an experiment on three
pair Of Percheron horses which were
fed light and heavy oats.
The practical results of this expert
ment seem to indicate that pound for
pound, the light oats have nearly the
same feeding value as the heavy oats
Although the heavy oats contain a
higher percentage of protein, and car
bohydrates and q less percentage Of
fiber than the light oats, II seems prob
able that the relative proportions OF
these constituents are such that they
are more easily and thoroughly di.
gestcd.
II should be remembered that al.
though the two grades are practically
equal pound for pound. they are not
equal, quart for quart, and that in feed.
Ing by measure, rs is usual, allowance
should be made for heavy oats and a
less portion given.
Since oats are bought and sold by
weight instead OF measure, there
seems to be no gain made in buying
the heavy oats at an advanced price
over the light oats.
