Feeds; Animal nutrition. 216 FEEDS AND FEEDING, ABRIDGED for much of the labor of feeding. With proper care and application, the manure resulting from each ton of meal fed would be worth $, the manurial value, as surely as would the application to the same land of commercial fertilizers worth this amount. This would be nearly clear profit. Selling fertility.—The preceding table further shows that those who sell such crops as hay, corn, and wheat, part with far more fertility for a given sum than do those who sell animals or their products. The farmer who sells 1,000 lbs. of clover hay, worth $5 to $8, parts with. Fig. 61.—Saving the Fertility in Feeding Stuffs Where possible, the manure should be drawn directly to the fields and spread each day. (From Breeder's Gazette.) about as much fertility as if he had sold 1,000 lbs. of fat ox or fat pigs, worth $60 to $75, or more. Based on the selling price, milk carries considerable fertility from the farm, and butter practically none. Farm crops may be regarded as raw products, while farm animals, milk, wool, butter, etc., represent manufactured products. A large amount of raw material in the form of grass, hay, corn, etc., is put into animals, and the heavy waste or by-product resulting in the form of manure conserves most of the fertility, when carried back to the fields. The farmer who feeds his crops to live stock is a manufacturer.
