Ing.1
To probably feed i've stock certain
specific requirements must be OBJ
served. Animal growth Ii based upon
science no less exaeIlng than the laHa
II chemistry. Any radical deviation
n either case vii defeat the object
Ee are attempting to attain. In chem
iskxy we know that b combining two
volumes of hydrogen with one Of o.
yen. we obtain water, and no other
combination Of these two elements
vii make that valuable substance.
Anima growth l. made by combln-
inE carbohydrates and protein. II the
proportions are out Of balance the
growth Is impaired. bit IL the proper
tons are In accordance with the Law
d growth. the bert possible results
vi be obtained Carbohydrates pro
vide energy. heat md fat. Protein
makes the growth. T. however. one
substance is given and the other IL ab-
sent In the feed. the animal will pr.
iHh. During the growing period the
animal naturally requires more pro
teIn and less carbohydrates, and dur.
ing the fattening period more OF the
carbohydrates should be given. When
The animal is growing. 1t should have
one part Of protein 10 four and one
half or Ave parta q carbohydrates.
and when fat L desired, the ratio
should be widened 70 ono part protein
% i've and onezhaIf or six parts Of
carbohydrates

amount Of protein. but are rich IL car.

To illustrate the value Of balanced
ration. or having tha right amount Of
protein and carbohydrates viii Gle
tha following experiments which are
Il keeping sith many other ieHLH
along the same line
n test where PIG xsre fed = -
ton Of three pounds q corn they made
Eain Of &c pounds IN 80 days
Another lot seIa gwen ~ pounds
o corn together 9TH one pound q
Ha1hsan meal and made a gain OF 10
pounds during the aams period.
n ether experiments whore plEI
ssfs given n quarter ration Of corn
nd soybean pasture they made -four
IImsa greater gain nan vhen given ;
full ration Of corn alone.
The following results vsrc obtained
from both balanced and an unbal.
aneed ration In feeding steers.
-Four steers KsTs led IO4 days q
corn and timothy hzy and made :
EzIa Of 2e0 pounds Another bunch
o. four steers ssra I'd corn and CO..
pea hay for the aama period and made
= AIN Of GA pounds n another IszI
four steers were fed 30 days on corn
md timothy haY nd made n gain Of
IS pounds. Another bunch OF -four
Steer fed on corn md clover haY
made \ gain Of 60 pounds and atill
another bunch Of four steers fed On
corn and mlllsi h. made = gain Of
ONLY i1s pounds. II this test where
com and timothy hay. corn and mIlIsI
.ere given. the gaIn xaa very little
because the feeds HeTa out Of balance.
O. IN other words they contained too
much carbohydrates md not enough
pTotsln. Where ooHnea hay and eiof.
- hay was given 9Th corn. the gaIn
- very marked. due entirely TO ths
fact that eowpea ny and clover hay
are rich In protein and when CON.
IInsd With the corn make q balanced
