MIR JONES
The Fundamental principles OF fessdng.
if correctly determined, are unchange-
able: but the Importance of their cor
rect application IN feed purchases is
more apparent now than formerly owing
TO present high prices and to the often
lack OF an equivalent increase In the In
come derived from the dairy. The farm
should produce sufficiency Of nay, corn
fodder Of sllaNe These roughases fur
nish mainly carpohvdrates and fat. and
they constitute the bulky part of all dairy
rations. RouEhages are ordinarily def
ccnt IN protein the most expensive ~
these three necessary nutrients. Any Of
them may produce in the animal energy
heat and fatty tissue.
Protein alone is the flesh and muscle
tissue builder and alone forms the casein
in milk Commercial feeds as used IN
dairy feeding should supplement home
grown roughages by supplying the nutri-
ent in which they are relatively deficient
I. g protein. They should be bought
primarily for this purpose. II all com
tent and were equally digestibe. the re
tail price alone would need he consid Tered
and the proposition would he q simple
one. Unfortunately their protein content
varies from 10 a per cent. while the
price now runs from S.+5 to $3.50 hun
ired. Note this difference. 81 lbs. per

in cottonseed meal costs less than l.
cents. while I'm ths stock food II costs y,

| No direct relation exists between the

buy it at i-2 cents. rather than at p
cents a 10? CIT is what your cows want
