VOLUME XLVII—NO. 10 Relative Cost of Various 1 Feeding Stuffs on Market Analysis of The Values of the Different I Food Components NITROGENOUS FEEDS HAVE GREAT MANURiAL VALUE The following analysis of the food puipouants in the feeding stuffs upon tlafe market has been furnished by the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of Wisconsin, and should be of iieterest to every farmer: It 'is of considerable interest and practical importance to* determine, if possible, the comparative value of different concentrated feeding stuffs on the market one may know which of a gi umber of feeds in tended to Hupp.eo ut the farm grown feed may be bought at the cheapest relative cost. Efforts to give definite figures for the comparative value of dif ferent feeds were first made by German scientists more than a generation ago, and various methods have since that time been adopted by agricultural chemists in this country and abroad to solve this problem. The common way has been to calculate the average cost of the following food components: pro teiu, fat and carbohydrates, either the total or only the digestible portion of these components being used fur the calculations hy the different authoriti's The relation between the three compo neuts generally accepted in Germany has been B: 2:1, which ratio agrees quite closely with German market prices. In this country the same method of calculation has been adop ted iu a number of states and different ratios have been obtained according to local market prices. The writer in 1891 found that one pound of protein in concentrated feed ing stuffs cost Wisconsin farmers about 1.5 cents, according to tho prices then prevailing. pound of fat cost Jf.tt cents, and a pound oi carbohydrates 5 cent. Calculation of Cost of Feeding Stuffs On the Market These figures may be used as an ap proximate guide as to the relative econ omy of the different feed stuffs, as a theoretical price of a certain feed may thus be obtained, which can he compar Calculated Value and Market Price Per 100 Lbs, of Concentrated Leeds 1 Calculated Value on Basis , of Total Market Price.

It will he seen that the results give wheat bran, wheat middlings and cottonseed meal as cheap feeds, with oil meal and ground corn and oats as expensive feeds. < July nn<h food components have, however, been considered in the calculations leading to these results. Data thus obtained may be most readily used in calenlating tbe money value of feeds of known compo sition and they have also the add tional point in their favor that considerable more certainty is attached to determi nations of crude nutrients of concen trated feeding stuffs than i- the case with determinations of the digestible Percentage Digestibility of Concentrated Feeding Stuffs "I*! 1 "" ■ Protein.

O, Dairy Fee l { I)i gestibility assumed similar to that of corn meal. If the digestible components of the different feeds given in the first table !• calculated on basis of these coefficients and the results thus obtained fie coin pared with the market prices of the feeds as before, we find that the average cost of digestible nutrients in the feeds was as follows; One pound of digestible protein costs 2.6:t cents, and THE MANITOWOC PILOT. ed with the price at which it is offered for sale. Since market prices of feeding stall's have changed considerably of late years, it .was deemed desirable to obtain similar figures that would apply to present day conditions, and the writer therefore lias made calculations, accord" ing to a somewhat modified and simpler method than that used more than twelve years ago; it is believed that the results thus arrived at will show the average cost of food components in concentrated feeding stuffs on the market at the pres enb time. The calculations were based on the average composition of the following feeds: Among stiurliii fwih, wheat bran and middlings, ground corn and oats, mixed corn and oat feeds, hominy feed; and among nil mi/) nous ftCils oil meal, gluten feed, ami cotton seed meal. The average chemical composition of thedifferent feeds obtained in this year's analysis was compared with the aver age prices of each feed. The number of pounds of total proteid and of star chy components (fat multiplied by 21 plus crude fiber multiplied by J plus nitrogen free extract in 100 pounds multiplied by their respective cost per pound, being in each case placed equal to the price per hundred pounds of the feed. ( (lit of these comparisons two equations, one f r starchy feeds, and one for nitro genous feeds, each with two mi known quantities, were obtained by ad dition and by dividing the sums in each case by the number of feeds considered. By solving these equations the follow ing values were found: One pound of crude protein costs 2.5 cents. One p mud of starchy components (or their equivalent) cost 0.8 cents. If we now calculate the theoretical value of the different feeds by substitut ing these results in the original equa ions, we have the following data; * Decrease, components of feeding stuff's. The dif ferent concentrated feeds vary eonsider ably in their digestibility, however, and is also possible, and even probable, that the uses which farm animals can make of the various food materials given will differ lo some extent: (he preceding fig ores are therefore subject to niodifica Hons both on account of differences in the digestibility and in the nutritive properties of digestible food compon ents of different 01 igin. The former oh j eel ion may be done away with by mak ing similar calculations mi basis of the digestible components of the various feeds, instead of the total crude nutri cuts as above. Such calculations have been based on the following average (determined or assumed) digestibility of I he feeds considered. One pound of carbohydrates (reduced to their starch equivalent) costs 1 11 cents.* By introducing these fgures in the statements of digestible components in tin- different feeds we iirrive „t the fol lowing data representing tin- average market value of the feeds based on their < ontents of ilii/i lihh nutrients Continued On Page Five. NOTES OF BOOKS AND MAGAZINES THE ISLE OF THE SHAMROCK. If any one wants to take a pleasant journey to Ireland, seeing plenty of sights, ambling quietly along, stopping by the wayside, chatting and generally taking his time to enjoy things -if he wants to do this 'practically without money an 1 without price, let him fake the journey with Clifton Johnson in the latter’s vehicle “The Isle of the Sh imrock.” Metaphore aside. Mr. Johnson has written a book which puts Ireland be fore you from the view point of the stroller about as accurately as you could wish. The style is unpretensiouH an 1 the book impresses one as haring been written from day to day just as the author moved about a compilation of jottings from a diary. Mr. John son, like most strollers, observes in de tail, and that in a rather unexpected way. For instance ho devotes about six pages to the description of a primer picked up in a little country school. But on ' can just about see the primer when In* gets t hrough. No unthinking traveler is the anther. Every now and then the scene is eluci dated by a little bit of history. The discription of the Cistercian Brother hood at Mt. Melleray is of absorbing in terest Through all the casual obser vat ions of the stranger in a strange laud one can read something <>t the life story of the Iridi people, can see their abje t poverty and get a glimpse of its cause. In one wav the book has a melancholy vein, simply because the story it tells, despite bits of humor here and there, is a sad one The illustrations by the author —pho tographs and pen and ink sketches are a delight to the eye. The book is tastefully printed. Space here dues not permit of quotations from the work but it is heartily recommended to all who love travel, whether able to in dulge the taste or not. MC CU RE S MAGAZINE By far the most important feature of the January McClure’s is Carl Schur/.s timely article on tho Negro Problem in the South. Probably no living man lo day is more capable of a thorough and impartial analysis of tins vital subject than Mr. Schurz. The facts given in his article are largely based upon his observations while on a tour of investi gation in l'sCi.s, at the request of Presi dent Johnson, and again in 18(15. on h.s own account. I fail to see how the most rabid advocate of slavery ui of the present reactionary movement in tin South could take a single exception to Mr. Schur/.s article on any such ground as impartiality or 'prejudice, or even ignorance. Mr. Hchurz knocks on the head a good many pro slavery catch phrases and ideas particularly the one that the South should bo “let alone” to deal with the subject in its own way; and the other line, that “education spoils a nigger". He throws new light on the conditions which led up b> the confer ring the franchise on the colored race. It had been my opinion that Ibis step had been taken by the Northern Uepub beans more as a parly subterfuge than through any desire to alleviate comb tious; but Mr. Sclmr/. shows pretty conclusively that it was the honest l>- lief among sincere and thinking men at the time that the move was the only one to obviate certain imminent dan gers such, lor instance, as the practi cal re-enslavement or annilation of the negro. In conclusion Mr Selinrz advocates the holiest following out the provisions of the constitution as the surest and safest way out of tbe dilemma. He strongly favors the education ot the m-gro and believes that if the people of the south enter heartily and earnestly into this work, the pM-judices and race antipathies will gradually disappear.

Wednesday afternoon the Association of County Superintendents met at the Baptist Tabernacle. The subject which excited the greatest interest and a warm discussion was one dealing with tin* que-dion of the (relative value of the high school and the common school. F. S. Hyer principal of the training school in this city, said "With all deference to high schools, we have no students from them who are as good as those from district schools. Not one of all the high school students now in my school but lias said to me that district s bool students have an advantage over them in every way. I have a high school girl who di I not pass in anything during the year, and a man who could not have entered if given a test, who is one of my best students.” Fred Christiansen, of this city, Coun ty Superintendent of Schools for Maui to woe. addressed the association on the subject "Relation# Between tin* Countv Superintendent and the Faculty of the Training School’. Mr, Christiansen made tb** point that while the County Superintendent, had, legs 18-, nothing to do with the Tn ining School, yet, as his interests were allied with it. and as it was never act rally started without hie aid, harmony between him and tin* faculty was absolutely essential Mr. Christiansen does not favor interference by a Huperintemient in the working of the school. He believes that the faeul ty should be Hie best judge of the lit ness of tin* students for graduation, etc. But where constant friction between a superintendent and the training school faculty becomes ine\ Stable, lie believes the faculty should be the one to go.
