At. the heginnnig, both parties agree on prices of feeds that are on hand. i The amount of feeds used cannot be determined until the dose of the feeding feed-ing period fl In case feeds are to be purchased during the feding period, it will, perhaps, be necessary to place the value on such feeds based on actual ac-tual purchase price. 3. Method of Feeding, Records Both parties should agree as to the method of feeding, rations to be used and the method of handling the livestock live-stock during the feeding period.

In these icy its interest and depreciation is (h-rged on the investment in equipment equip-ment for the year. Recognizing that an emergency exists this year, and that yards might otherwise be forced to remain idle, the feeder may agree to waive such charges. However, in the sample plan an attempt has been riiade to estimate fair interest and depreciation de-preciation charge. 5. - Compensation For Labor-In Labor-In the report shown here it is considered con-sidered that the manure produced by the livestock goes to the feeders' farm and compensates the feeder for his labor. In some sections of the state it will not be considered that the value of manure will take care of the labor. In such cases, a labor charge will be necessary. 6. Length of Feeding Period and Gain It is desirable to have in the contract con-tract an understanding of a minimum number of days the livestock is to be fed, or an agreement on the minimum number of pounds of gain to be put on the livestock.
