Wasteful feeding, rather than cost
of feed, is limiting the profit In dairy
ing and poultry raising, according to

Economics. Feed good feed but

would go forward In his business,
rather than backwards.

feeding problems has shown that there
is lamentable waste of good feed go

cents a sack between two feeds, will
waste many times that amount through
his methods of feeding.

and his feed bill Is $500 per day. This
Is more than the good feed would have
cost If properly used, and the cows,
getting the lower grade of feed, fall
off in milk production, so that the
farmer can't save on the feed bill
enough to overcome the loss on his
milk check. This should prove to any
dairyman that 1t is more profitable to
feed 200 pounds of good feed at
daily cost of $3.50 and get $500
worth of milk, than to feed 250 pounds
of cheaper grade at 1892 and get only
