Excerpt from The Principles of Feeding Farm Animals

It has seemed desirable, partly in order to avoid duplication, to discuss the use Of each of the principal feeds for the differ ent species and classes Of live stock rather than to devote separate chapters to the feeding of the different classes of farm animals. For example, under the discussion of corn, its use is given in the rations of growing cattle, colts, pigs, and lambs fattening cattle, hogs, and sheep breeding cattle, horses, hogs, and sheep dairy cows and work horses.

In addition to the discussion of the nutritive value of feeds and rations, the author has given particular attention to their fertilizing values, a phase which is Often neglected both by the student and the stockman.

The author is deeply indebted to Professor H. S. Grindley Dr. H. H. Mitchell, Professor W. C. Coffey, Professor H. P. Rusk, Professor J. L. Edmonds, Mr. W'. J. Carmichael, Mr. C. I. Newlin, and Mr. R. S. Hulce Of the University of Illinois.
