On Fodder Articles and Fodder Supplies. 1. Home Raised Fodder Articles. 2. Commercial Feed Stuffs.

They are either raised upon the farm and are used usually without any material change in composition ; or they are bought in the general market, and are in that case usually the by-products or waste materials of various other branches of industry, as oil works, flour mills, starch works, glucose factories, breweries, etc., etc. The home raised fodder crops furnish in the majority of cases the coarse fodder constituent of the daily diet, while the waste or by- products of other industries, furnish the fine or grain feed portion of the daily fodder rations. A rational and economical system of stock feeding has assigned to each of these two groups of feed stuffs its proper position in the daily diet of all kinds of farm live stock, with special reference to their general character, adaptation and composi- tion, as well as to good economy and particular efficiency.
