Field of Invention This invention relates to animal feed supplements, and in particular, to a block form of the supplment intended for free choice feeding. 2. Brief Statement of the Prior Art Sugar-base animal feed supplements such as the typical molasses-urea compositions have been used for many years in liquid form. The supplement is added daily to the forage and feed for the animal. These supplements have also been provided for animals in a free choice feeding by the use of "lick wheels" in which the animal obtains the supplement by licking the supplement from the paddles of a wheel which is rotated through a reservoir of the supplement. Medications and drugs have been included with animal feed supplements and have been forcibly administered to animals in controlled dosage. These methods, however, are costly, often requiring extensive time and attention of skilled personnel such as veterinarians and their assistants. One of the problems which attends any free choice feeding of the sugar base solutions is over-consumption by the cattle, and this problem is particularly acute when a medication or drug is to be included with the supplement. The aforementioned lick wheels limit overconsumption somewhat by physically limiting the supply to the cattle. The consumption can also be controlled when a liquid supplement is added in regulated amounts to the normal daily diet of the animal, however, this incurs high labor costs and handling problems. The high cost of dispensing liquid supplements has spurred recent attempts to provide the supplement in a solid block form for free choice feeding by the cattle. A number of recently issued patents have been directed to animal feed blocks of this nature, e.g., see U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,027,043, 4,016,296 and 3,961,081. Typically, these blocks are solidified by the addition of calcium oxide and phosphoric acid to the supplement to form a solid block; by the addition of calcium oxide and fatty acids to form a soap gel; or by crystallization of the sugars; as in candy manufacture. It has been proposed that overconsumption of these blocks can be avoided and free choice feeding in controlled quantities can be accomplished by the incorporation of various appetite inhibitors. While some reduction in consumption can be achieved with appetite inhibitors, these inhibitors are adulterants and potential food additives, the effects of which are never completely identifiable. The materials also contribute to an increased cost of maufacturing the block. The inhibitors also do not provide a control over consumption with the precision or exactitude necessary for controlled dosages of medication. BRIEF STATEMENT OF THE INVENTION This invention comprises an animal feed supplement in block form packaged with a plurality of structural members that subdivide the block and thus physically interfere with the feeding by the animal, thereby reducing the consumption of the supplement. The preferred structural members comprise a plurality of vertical partitions preferably of animal-edible material, e.g., vertical cardboard partitions which subdivide the block into a plurality of vertical cells. These partitions are readily available since the block is customarily poured into a cardboard container during its formation and the carton manufacturers have cardboard partitions available in any of a plurality of sizes permitting the block manufacturer to vary the number of partitions to fit the particular requirements for daily consumption by cattle. The partitions also prevent cattle from forming a central depression in the top of the blocks which permits the cattle to break chunks from the side of the block. In one application, the size and spacing of the partitions is selected to permit the user to obtain small block segments or cubes suitable to supply an animal's daily requirements. This is particularly useful when drugs are to be administered since the smaller block segments provide a precise control for the medication and the pleasing palatability of the supplement insures ingestion without forced feeding. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will be described by reference to the FIGURES, of which: FIG. 1 illustrates a package of the invention; FIG. 2 illustrates a preferred structural member; FIGS. 3-5 illustrate a method of packaging; and FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate an alternative packaging method. DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS This invention comprises an animal feed supplement in block form. The supplement comprises a composition of a sugar solution and a solidifying component together with optional amounts of animal nutrients such as natural protein or, when intended for ruminant feeding, a nitrogenous compound convertible by the ruminant to protein such as urea or an ammonium salt. The solidifying reaction for the block can comprise the crystallization of the sugars effected by evaporation of the solution and carmelization, similar to the procedure of candy making. Preferably, however, the block is solidified by the incorporation of solidification additives and, most preferably, is formed by the addition of a calcium oxide and phosphoric acid to the supplement. The supplement can also be solidified in block form by the formation therein of an insoluble calcium soap of feed grade fatty acids by the addition of calcium oxide and free fatty acids under soap-forming conditions. Another method comprises the addition of a large quantity of magnesium oxide to a molasses supplement. Regardless of the particular solidification method employed, the feed supplement during the manufacturing process is a liquid which can be poured into the cardboard cartons and a plurality of vertical cardboard partitions in a predetermined spacing can be incorporated in the cartons to provide the desired daily consumption rate. Although the vertical cardboard partitions which subdivide the carton into a plurality of vertical cells are the preferred structural members, it is apparent that other structural fillers can likewise be employed provided these fillers extend throughout the exposed or licking surface of the block with a sufficient density to physically interfere with the licking by the animal. Referring now to FIG. 1, the preferred embodiment of the block form animal feed supplement will be described. As there illustrated, the supplement is contained within a cardboard carton that is of a totally animal edible construction. The carton sidewalls 10, 12, 14 and 16, as well as the bottom 18 are formed of corregated cardboard and secured together by interlocking tabs and/or adhesives such as hot melt adhesives or waxes which are generally recognized as safe and fit for animal consumption. Disposed within the block 20 contained within the carton are a plurality of longitudinal cardboard partitions 24, 26 and 28 which intersect a second plurality of transverse parallel partitions 34, 36, 38 and 40. These partitions are of conventional construction, also formed of corregated cardboard, and the like and are entirely safe for consumption by cattle. In the manufacture, the partition insert, which is available in preassembled form from the carton manufacturer, is placed within the carton with the supplement in liquid form, which is poured into the carton. The steps of the manufacture are illustrated in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5. Referring now to FIG. 2, the preferred insert 43 of the partitions for free choice feeding comprises the aforementioned longitudinal partitions 24, 26 and 28 and transverse partitions 34, 36, 38 and 40. The preferred insert 43 has a plurality of apertures 45 in the partition walls so that the supplement bridges between the partitions. This prevents the animals from breaking smaller cubes or blocks from the larger block, preventing waste and overconsumption. The carton is assembled as shown in FIG. 3 by closing and interengaging the bottom flaps 50, 52, 54 and 56. Preferably, the carton has interlocking tabs (not shown) which secure the assembly, however, an animal-edible adhesive such as a hot melt or wax can also be used. Referring now to FIG. 4, the supplement in liquid form is poured into the carton from a process line 58, filling the carton to the desired level. Thereafter, the assembled partitions 43, shown in FIG. 2 is inserted, forming a plurality of vertical cells within the carton. After filling, the cartons are closed by folding over the top flaps 60, 62, and 64 which are secured by interlocking tabs and/or a suitable adhesive. The sealed cartons are then stored to permit the supplement to solidify, a reaction which occurs within a short period of time, e.g., a few hours. Thereafter, the cartons are ready for use by removing the top to expose the upper surface for access for the animal. An alternative packaging method is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. In this method, the carton 42 is filled at station 66 from process line 58 and a partition form 68 is inserted at station 70. The partition form 68 has a coating of a parting agent such as petroleum wax, Teflon, and the like. Alternatively, the partition form is constructed of rigid plastic sheets, e.g., of Teflon sheets. After insertion of the partition form 68, the top flaps 60, 62 and 64 are closed at station 71. The package is then stored for a sufficient time, e.g., from 3 to about 24 hours or longer, to permit the supplement to solidify into a hard, non-tacky solid state. As shown in FIG. 7, the packages are removed from storage, opened at station 72 and the partition form 68 is removed therefrom at station 74. The cartons are then closed and sealed at station 76. The resultant package is a carton which contains a plurality of vertical blocks 22, extending substantially the height of the box. Each of the vertical blocks 22 constitute a predetermined ration of supplement. Preferably, each is a daily ration for the animal so that the user need only add one block 58 to the animal's feed each day to provide a closely regulated diet. This packaging is particularly suited for medication purposes since predetermined amounts of drugs can be incorporated in the supplement during its manufacture and the animal will be given the precise daily dosages by the simple task of adding one block to the animal's daily ration. The precise daily medication can also be achieved with a partition assembly 42 which remains in the carton. Preferably, the partition is of wax-coated cardboard construction and the user can thus readily remove individual blocks 58 from the carton. The feed supplements which are used for practice of this invention in general have the composition set forth in the following table: Table 1 ______________________________________ Proportions, Weight Percent Ingredient Broad Preferred ______________________________________ Sugar solution 12-95 22-75 Protein* 0-40 20-40 Fat 0-25 3-15 Minerals 0-3 0.1-2 Phosphorus 1-5 1-3 Calcium 1-5 1-3 ______________________________________ *Expressed as weight percent of equivalent protein. The content of minerals, phosphorous and calcium, as well as other ingredients such as drugs, vitamins, etc., can be varied as desired for specific applications. Examples of various minerals are manganese, iodine, zinc, copper, cobalt and iron compounds. Examples of vitamins include Vitamin A, Vitamin D, and Vitamin E. Examples of useful drugs are: growth promoting food additives or drugs such as monensin and sodium monensin, commercially available under the designation Rumensin from Eli Lilly Co.; diethylstilbestrol, chlorotetracyline and sulfamethazine; and mixtures of chlorotetracyline and sulfamethazine; etc. Other useful drugs include antibloat and antihelmintic agents as well as insert control agents. The aforementioned materials are used in effective concentrations for the desired result, e.g., drugs are used at concentrations from 0.5 to about 1.0 weight percent. The minerals are used in similar concentrations, but are often expressed in amounts from 3 to about 500 milligrams per pound and vitamins are frequently expressed from 10 to about 50,000 units per pound. Sugar Solution The feed supplement prepared by the method of this invention comprises an aqueous sugar solution as its continuous phase. The sugar solution can be employed in the feed supplement at a concentration of from 12 to about 90, preferably from about 22 to about 75 weight percent, based on the weight of the sugar solution. The sugar ingredient can be any commercially available sugar such as sucrose, glucose, lactose, maltose or fructose. The source of sucrose is the cane and beet sugar industry; of glucose, the corn starch industry; and of lactose, the dairy industry. Maltose is available in malt syrup and fructose is available as a by-product of the dextran industry or from invert sugar. Preferably, aqueous solutions containing from 10 to about 90 weight percent, preferably from 12 to about 60 weight percent, sugars, are used. This concentration range includes most commercially available sugar-containing by-products of various industries. The sugar industry produces large quantities of molasses which can be used directly. Molasses is commercially available as an aqueous solution having a sugar content from about 60 to 85 Brix, and a consistency varying from a thin to a thick syrup. The molasses can be any sugar-containing molasses such as cane or blackstrap molasses, beet molasses, converted molasses, wood sugar molasses, hydrosyrup, citrus molasses and the like. Molasses of a concentration of from 65 to about 85 Brix is preferred. By-products of the molasses and sugar industry can also be used such as Steffens filtrate, a sugar containing by-product obtained from beet molasses. Another sugar industry by-product in Myces, which is the residue after separation of yeast cells grown in a molasses culture medium. Another by-product useful herein as a sugar ingredient is starch molasses which is a by-product of dextrose manufacture from corn or grain sorghums by acid or enzymatic hydrolysis. It contains greater than about 40 weight reducing sugar and greater than about 50 weight percent total sugar, (sugars calculated as dextrose). Another sugar source is the dairy industry which produces large quantities of whey as a by-product of cheese manufacture. The whey is a dilute solution of the lactoalbumin, lactose, some of the fat, and the soluble inorganics from the parent milk. This solution is condensed and then spray dried or condensed to 40 or 50% solids and preserved. The spray dried solid is a powder which can be readily dissolved in water to form an aqueous sugar solution for use in the invention. A typical analysis is as follows: Table 2 ______________________________________ Composition of a Typical Spray Dried Whey ______________________________________ Protein 12.0% Fat 0.7% Lactose 60.0% Phosphorous 0.79% Calcium 0.87% Ash 9.7% ______________________________________ Modified wheys such as partially delactosed whey in which some of the lactose in the whey is selectively removed can also be used. Another modified whey is partially hydrolyzed whey in which some of the lactose is hydrolyzed (usually by lactate enzymatic hydrolysis) thereby reducing the lactose content. A reduction in the lactose content of the whey is desirable to permit use of higher solids content wheys than can be used with the unmodified whey. The typical spray dried or condensed whey is limited to a solids content of from 40 to about 60 weight percent since lactose crystallizes at ambient temperatures from wheys of higher content lactose. The aforementioned modified wheys are free of this crystallization tendency and their solids content can be from 40 to about 80 weight percent without encountering any instability. Other milk products which can be included as a sugar source include dry skimmed milk which is the residue obtained by drying of defatted milk, and condensed skim milk residue, obtained by evaporating defatted milk. A third source of sugar is the pulp and paper industry which produces large quantities of by-product wood sugars such as lignin sulfonates from wood during the sulfite pulping process. After the separation of lignin, the acidity of the resultant solution is neutralized with an ammonium or alkali metal bisulfite or base to form the following organic salts: ammonium lignin sulfonate; sodium lignin sulfonate; and magnesium lignin sulfonate. A typical analysis of a commerically available ammonium lignin sulfonate solution is as follows: Table 3 ______________________________________ Typical Analysis of Ammonium Lignin Sulfonate ______________________________________ Percent Solids 50.0% Specific gravity 1.237 pH, 10% solution 3.5 Wood Sugars (expressed as glucose) 16.0% Tannin content 3.0 Available ammonia 3.0% Sulfur 6.0% Ash 1.0% ______________________________________ The manufacture of pressed wood yields another sugar-containing by-product which is hemicellulose extract, a concentrated soluble material obtained from treatment of wood at elevated temperature and pressure. This by-product has a total carbohydrate content greater than about 55 weight percent and contains pentose and hexose sugars. This by-product can be used as a sugar ingredient in the method of this invention. The corn industry yields a number of by-products which contain sugars, typically glucose, and proteins. Examples of these are corn glutin feed, hydrolyzed corn protein and condensed fermented corn extractives. These also can be used as a sugar and/or protein ingredient herein. The aforementioned sugar solutions are solidified into solid block form by any of a plurality of methods. In the preferred method, the feed supplement is solidified by the in situ to reaction of orthophosphoric acid and calcium which is preferably supplied as lime or calcium hydroxide. The reaction can be performed by adding the individual components to the sugar solution; when lime is employed it is preferred to add the lime to the sugar solution and permit the lime sufficient time to hydrate and form the soluble calcium hydroxide in the sugar solution. Typically, this is controlled by monitoring the time and/or pH of the solution. Thus, within 5-15 minutes after the lime addition or when the pH of the mixture has reached approximately 11 to 11.5, the phosphoric acid is added. The other ingredients of the supplement such as the fat, protein source, mineral mix, vitamins, etc., can be incorporated in the sugar solution prior to or during the addition of the lime. The fat, for example, can be emulsified in the sugar solution to form a fat-in-oil emulsion and for this purpose various oil-in-water emulsifiers can be used. The amount of emulsifier employed should be that quantity just sufficient to effect the desired emulsification and can be from about 0.5 to about 5 weight percent, preferably from about 1 to about 2 weight percent based on the total weight of the composition. Examples of suitable emulsifiers include cationic emulsifiers such as fatty amines, fatty amides, quaternary alkyl and aryl ammonium salts and hydrates, etc. Suitable anionic emulsifiers include the fatty acid glyceride sulfonates and fatty acid sulfonates such as sulfonated cottonseed oil, sulfonated sperm oil, sulfonated tallow, sulfonated aromatic hydrocarbons, e.g., benzene sulfonic acid, etc. Useful nonionic compounds include polyethylene oxide condensates of hydrophobic groups having a reactive hydrogen with from 10 to about 25 carbons condensed with from 2 to about 15 molecular weights of ethylene oxide. Examples of such materials include polyoxyethylene condensate with alkyl or alkenyl amines or maides, fatty acid partial esters of hexitans, etc. Free fatty acids and phospholipids which are present in some fat sources also function as emulsifying agents and no added emulsifying agent may be required with such fat sources. The Protein Source Protein containing nutrients in powder form that can be added to the supplement include the following: dried blood or meat meal from rendering plants which also serve as a phosphorous source, cottonseed meal, soymeal, dehydrated alfalfa, dried and sterilized animal and poultry manure, fishmeal, powdered egg, dried fish solubles, cell cream, and rabbit pellets. The fish solubles is a dried concentrate of the cooking water from a fish cannery which has a very high protein content. Cell cream is obtained by drying dead bacterial cells used to manufacture monosodium glutamate by fermentation. The dry powder usually contains about 90 weight percent protein. Rabbit pellets is a commercially available dry, composited mixture of ground, dehydrated alfalfa and a cereal such as corn or wheat with trace minerals and vitamins. When the feed supplement is intended for consumption by ruminants, a non-protein nitrogen compound can serve as the protein source. Ammonia compounds, e.g., urea, buiret or mono or di-ammonium phosphate can be used. The preferred material for a nitrogen source is urea which in prior supplements has been added in amounts below valves that could result in toxicity problems from overconsumption, in an amount from 2 to about 15 weight percent, preferably from about 5 to about 12 weight percent, based on the feed supplement. Since the invention prevents overconsumption, greater amounts, from 2 to 20 weight percent can be used, if desired. Since the ammonium salt gelling agent contributes non-protein nitrogen, the quantity of the ingredient added solely as a source of non-protein nitrogen is lessened in proportion to the quantity of the ammonium salt gelling agent. The feed supplement can contain up to about 65, preferably up to about 40 weight percent equivalent protein content from a protein or non-protein nitrogen compound. When molasses is used as a sugar source, the maximum amount of urea can be reduced by the amount of nitrogen contributed by the molasses (about 1 to 3 weight percent) to the preferred, maximum 12 weight percent limit based on the feed supplement. A typical ruminant feed block would, therefore, contain from 5 to about 15, preferably from 7 to about 12 weight percent urea as a source of non-protein nitrogen. The Fat Ingredient A source of an animal edible fat such as the edible, water insoluble fats and oils from animal and vegetable sources can be used in preparation of the supplement. The supplement prepared by the method of the invention can contain up to about 25 weight percent, based on the supplement weight, of the edible fat. Preferably, the composition has from 3 to about 15 weight percent of the fat. These fats are various fatty acids such as stearic, palmitic, oleic, linoleic, lauric, etc., and the mono, di or tri-glycerides of these fatty acids. Useful fats and oils can also include complex lipids such as the phospholipids, e.g., fatty acid esters of glycerol phosphate or lecithins, which also contain nitrogen bases such as choline. The fats are commonly identified by source and suitable fats which can be employed include the oils, tailings or residues of the following: soybean oil, cottonseed oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil, tallow, fish oil, coconut oil, palm oil, etc. Preferably, relatively inexpensive sources of fats are employed such as the yellow grease compositions which are reclaimed restaurant fats and greases, acidulated soap stocks or acidulated fats and oils. The fat ingredient can also contain an antioxidant in an effective amount to inhibit oxidative degradation of the fat, e.g., from 0.01 to about 1 weight percent butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene, 4-hydromethyl-2,6-3di-tert-butylphenol, etc. Another method for the solidification of the feed supplement comprises the in situ formation of a calcium fatty acid soap. The fatty acids which are available for this reaction are, in general, the long chain fatty acids from animal and vegetable sources, e.g., yellow grease contains from 3 to about 15 percent free fatty acids and these are ideally suited for the reaction. Other high molecular weight fatty acids which can be used are available from other industrial products such as acidulated cottonseed oil, brown grease and the like. Typically, these acids have from 12 to about 18 carbons and are saturated and monoethylenically unsaturated fatty acids. The source of the fatty acid is preferably yellow grease and this material is employed also as the animal edible fat source. The material is incorporated in the sugar solution preferably by mixing in the presence of a suitable oil-in-water emulsifier of the identity and concentrations previously described. The other ingredients can be mixed into the resulting emulsion and thereafter the calcium precipitant can be added. It is preferred in this application to have an alkaline pH in the product since the alkaline pH conditions are conducive to proper soap formation. Accordingly, a sufficient quantity of calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide is added to the sugar-fat emulsion to raise the pH of the mixture to a value above about 7, preferably from about 8 to about 9. At these conditions, the material will solidify within a period of time from 1 to about 24 hours. Another method for the solidification of the supplement is to concentrate the sugar solution to crystallize the sugars therefrom. This method is practiced by heating of the sugar solution to a temperature from about 220.degree. to about 300.degree. F. and at a subatmospheric pressure from about 25 to about 27 inches vacuum. The heating is conducted sufficiently to substantially reduce the water content of the supplement so that the sugar in the supplement will cause it to harden into a brittle, glass-like solid. The sugar solution can be heated in the presence of the other additives such as the fat, protein source, etc. Preferably, however, the sugar solution is heated separately and the ingredients are mixed with the concentrated sugar solution after heating. The following examples will illustrate the preferred practice of the invention and demonstrate the results obtainable thereby: EXAMPLE 1 The ingredients set forth in the following table are employed in the quantities indicated in parts by weight to prepare a feed supplement useful for horses.

The lime is added to 1500 parts of the molasses while agitating the ingredients in a mixing tank. Upon the addition of the lime, the temperature and the pH of the mixture rises. When the temperature reaches 98.degree. F., the remainder of the molasses is added and the agitation is continued until the pH of the mixture reaches a value of 9.7, the temperature at this time is 90.degree. F. The acid, vitamins and trace minerals identified in the preceding table are then added and the agitation is continued for two minutes until the initially formed acid gel is broken. The soy oil and soybean meal are then added and stirring is continued for a period of five minutes. The resultant mixture is packaged into boxes in 40 pound quantities. At the time of packaging, the temperature of the mixture is 102.degree. F. Dividers of the type illustrated in FIG. 1, subdividing the box into 30 compartments, are placed into each box, the boxes are closed and placed on pallets, with 50 boxes per pallet. The boxes are stored in a warehouse overnight to set and are inspected the following day and the product is observed to have a hardness value of 78 using a modified durameter test meter. EXAMPLE 2 A block of feed supplement useful for supplementing the diet of dairy cattle was prepared using the ingredients set forth in the following table: Table 5 ______________________________________ Ingredient Parts ______________________________________ Cane Molasses, 79 Brix 1,530 Monoammonium phosphate (Monofos) 400 Trace Mineral Mix 4 Calcium Chloride, Flake 80% 60 Vitamins A, D and E 6 Total 2,000 ______________________________________ The feed supplement is prepared by adding the monoammonium phosphate and molasses to the tank and stirring the mixture for 15 minutes. The trace minerals and calcium chloride are added and the mixture is stirred for five minutes, the vitamins are added and the mixture is stirred for 10 additional minutes. The temperature of the mixture is 88.degree. F. The mixture is packaged in corregated cardboard boxes in net quantities of 45 pounds per box and a partition of the type shown in FIG. 1, subdividing the box into 30 compartments is inserted in each of the boxes. The boxes are closed, placed on pallets and stored in a warehouse. The product reaches a hardness value of 80 on a modified durameter scale by the following morning. EXAMPLE 3 A feed supplement useful for free choice feeding of range cattle and containing a growth promoting drug is prepared with the ingredients identified in the following table: Table 6 ______________________________________ Ingredient Parts ______________________________________ Cane Molasses, 79 Brix 2,582 Lime 78 Urea 195 70% Phosphoric Acid 189 Trace Mineral Mix 6 Vitamin A 0.4 Vitamin D 0.1 Vitamin E 0.2 Rumensin 10.5 Total 3,061.2 ______________________________________ The feed supplement is prepared by admixing the lime with 2532 parts of the cane molasses and stirring the mixture for 27 minutes whereupon the temperature and pH rose to values of 90.degree. F. and 9.6, respectively. The urea is added and the stirring is continued for 6 minutes, the resultant mixture has a temperature of 80.degree. F. and a pH of 9.7. The acid, trace minerals and vitamins are then added and the mixture is stirred for 3 minutes. The pH of the mixture is 4.0 and its temperature is 92.degree. F. The growth promoting drug, Rumensin, is admixed with the remaining 50 pounds of the molasses and added to the mixture which is stirred for 10 minutes and then packaged in corregated cardboard boxes in net quantities of 45 pounds per box. A partition shown in FIG. 1 is placed in each box with the spacing to provide 30 compartments per box. The boxes are closed and placed on pallets and stored in a warehouse. EXAMPLE 4 A feed lot test is conducted to determine the relative consumption rates on a feed supplement containing the structural members (cardboard partitions) of the invention and feed blocks containing none of these members. The feed test is conducted with 53 head of feed lot cattle. The cattle are permitted free-choice feeding of the feed supplement of the composition set forth in Example 3 in plain corregated cardboard boxes having no structural members and the corregated cardboard boxes containing corregated cardboard partitions of the type described in Example 3. During the initial two weeks of the test, there is a low consumption of both supplements as a result of an adjustment of the animals to the feed lot environment. At the end of the third week, however, it is observed that the average consumption of all supplements was 0.83 pounds per head per day and after the fourth week the consumption rate has risen to 1.35 pounds per head per day. The cattle, however, eat twice the amount of the boxes containing no structural members and, accordingly, the consumption rates for the supplements with the structural members is 0.27 and 0.45 pound per head per day, whereas the consumption rate for the supplements containing no structural members is 0.56 and 0.90 pound per head per day, for the two weeks of the test observation. The preceding Example clearly demonstrates a significant decrease in rate of consumption of the feed supplements which contain the structural members of the invention. The invention has been described with reference to the exemplified and presently preferred embodiment. It is not intended that the invention be unduly limited by this disclosure of a specific and preferred embodiment. Instead, it is intended that the invention be defined by the method steps and reagents, and their obvious equivalents, set forth in the following claims. * * * * *

CHICAGO - AUGUST 22: Caleb Hanie #12 of the Chicago Bears drops back to pass against the New York Giants during their preseason NFL game at Soldier Field on August 22, 2009 in Chicago, Illinois. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
chiefs AT bears Time: Noon. Line: Bears by 7. Records (overall/ATS): Chiefs 4-7/6-5; Bears 7-4/6-5. Fast fact: Caleb Hanie had a 97.7 rating in the second half vs. the Raiders last week — 107.8 without two spikes. Outlook: Barring inclement weather, Hanie should be much improved in his second NFL start — against a Chiefs defense that ranks 20th in the NFL and is last with 13 sacks. Only Kyle Orton has a chance to gum up the works. Pick: Bears 27, Chiefs 10. …

If you are a homeowner, you've probably wondered if someone else could pay your mortgage payments. The simple and short answer is, yes.
There's not really a special or complicated process that requires you to hand over your home or anything for someone else to make your mortgage payment. All the lender and banks care about is that your mortgage payment is paid, it doesn't really matter who makes the payment. If you've ever found yourself in the situation of making someone else's mortgage payments, below are some things you will want to keep in mind and some information on how your taxes will be filed in this situation.
Gift Tax
The gift tax is a tax on the transfer of property by one individual to another while receiving nothing, or less than full value, in return. The tax applies whether the donor intends the transfer to be a gift or not.
This tax applies to the transfer by gift of any property. You make a gift if you give property (including money), or the use of or income from property, without expecting to receive something of at least equal value in return. If you sell something at less than its full value, or if you make an interest-free or reduced-interest loan, you may be making a gift.
"If you give people a lot of money or property, you might have to pay a federal gift tax. But most gifts are not subject to the gift tax. For instance, you can give up to the annual exclusion amount ($13,000 in 2009 and 2010) to any number of people every year, without facing any gift taxes. Recipients never owe income tax on the gifts.
And you can give up to $1 million in gifts that exceed the annual limit—total—in your lifetime, before you start owing the gift tax. If you give $15,000 each to ten people in 2009, for example, you'd use up $20,000 of your $1 million lifetime tax-free limit—ten times the $2,000 by which your $13,000 gifts exceeds the $12,000 per-person annual gift-free amount for 2009."
When and where to file:
Generally, the estate tax return is due nine months after the date of death. A six month extension is available if requested prior to the due date and the estimated correct amount of tax is paid before the due date. The gift tax return is due on April 15th following the year in which the gift is made.
Use the below mailing address for all tax forms filed at the Cincinnati Service Center including Estate and Gift tax returns:
Internal Revenue Service
Cincinnati, OH 45999
To mail FedEx packages, please use the following street address:
Internal Revenue Service
201 W. Rivercenter Blvd
Covington, KY 41011
FHA Loans and Noticeable Changes you will want to keep in mind:
FHA mortgage loan down payments can be payed as gifts. However, the gift donor is strictly limited to a relative. For more information contact your local branch.
Form 709-A is Now Obsolete
"Form 709-A, United States Short Form Gift Tax Return, is obsolete and should not be filed. All gift tax returns must now be filed using Form 709, United States Gift (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return. If you are filing a request for an extension of time to file an estate or gift tax return, remember that the request must go to the Cincinnati Service Center, even if you file your income or other tax returns elsewhere.
Reasons why you might want to have someone else making your mortgage payments
* Your facing possibility of foreclosure or bankruptcy
* You miss one payment, and you don't have extra money
* Your having trouble financially
* You want to transfer the property over to someone else(Look into information on how to do
* this)
* Unemployment
* Laid off from work"

The force has also agreed not to include the product, often associated with violence, in anti-crime bottle-marking schemes unless it has "reasonable grounds" for doing so.
Last year, moves to add labels to the drink to allow officers from the former Strathclyde Police force to trace bottles back to where they had been purchased infuriated Buckfast distributors, who branded it a "form of ethnic cleansing of brands of alcohol that police and politicians don't like".
Lawyers for J Chandler & Co took the case to the Court of Session claiming that the labels were being used illegally and in a way that discriminated against the brand. The two sides have now settled the case almost a year on, without any judgment from the court.
Police Scotland, which took over Strathclyde's responsibilities last April, has now apologised to Buckfast for the actions of an individual officer who tried to stop a retailer from stocking the tonic wine. It also apologised for any "distress or inconvenience" caused to the shopkeeper and, in a written undertaking, Assistant Chief Constable Wayne Mawson said police "will not request licensed retailers to cease stocking for sale Buckfast Tonic Wine".
Jim Wilson, spokesman for J Chandler & Co, said: "We accept the apology and we believe it to be very sincere."
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "We can confirm there has been an amicable settlement between Police Scotland and the owners of Buckfast."

Dusty Baker Redszone Confidence Poll: Month 3
Here is the monthly Dusty Baker Redszone Confidence Poll. The Walt Jocketty's Front Office Poll, arrives a few days after the draft.
I'll answer this at the end of the season. Right now there are both positives and negatives. I like the way he's handled the pitching staff except for that 18 inning game. But I loathe it when he bats C.Shat in the higher part of the order.
I'm still in the middle on him.
For myself to be comfortable with Dusty Bakers management style Dusty will have to be more consistent with his reasoning and follow up actions, the combination of his words/actions need to have support for each other in a correlating manner.
Dusty Baker will have to do what the statistics call for in the individual players to increase the probability of a batter getting on base and another to drive them in, he will have to win more one or two run games.
If he is speaking on defense and the need for good defense at various positions, then Baker be consistent, not selective.
Example: Centerfield needs good defense because it is a key defensive position, fine, then Patterson might be your man. Baker you say that you need speed and a good centerfielder, fine
Then it follows that shortstop needs good defense because it too is a key defensive position use the better ss on hand then in Janish over a Hairston.
Right field, since defense is important to Mr. Baker, then the right field defensive situation cannot be ignored, Hairston or Bruce is the better option left standing on the current team to play for defensive reason in RF
If he is speaking about a given pitcher just not having any runs scored for him, or a need for more key hits at opportune situations along with runs being scored.
Dusty Baker needs to have his lineup construction match the performance and production numbers of players that actually show a higher probability of getting on base and a higher probability of actually slugging in those players.
No more low on base percentage players batting at the top getting the most AB. Just because they play SS or CF
No more batting Griffey Jr third when there are better statistical options for that slot.
No more batting Dunn or Votto down in the order while Phillips bats cleanup against right handed pitchers, or Patterson bats 1 or 2 in the lineup and then be in denial about the results that they are achieving and continue to repeat the erroneous managerial errors.
No more saying Dusty that you read the back of baseball cards, implying that you take seriously what the players statistical histories are.
No more weakening the potential to score runs by batting the higher on base percentage players down in the order, and splitting left handed bats that do hit left handed pitching or that have a higher on base percentage against them for fear of what might happen later in the game weakening what could happen earlier in the game if Baker had not split up Dunn, Bruce, Votto.
Baker if you want speed in the lineup, then take advantage of Phillips speed, Votto and Bruce's ability to run. Phillips as sure as we breath, can get on base more times than Patterson, and Phillips 30 stolen bases on the back of his baseball card indicates that he can steal a base.
You have Griffey, Bruce, Votto, Dunn and Encarncion to be your big boppers and sluggers, you don't need Phillips to be your slugger in the four slot.
Baker there are things that you cannot do, TAKE CARE of the things that you can do something about NOW.
Increase the possibility of winning one or two run games

I grew up in Atlanta and moved here last summer. Love it so far, and looking to meet more ppl. I am turning into a typical Coloradan - you name it... Vball wash park, snowboarding, awesome summer hikes, mimosas and brunch, red rocks concerts.... Don't get me mixed up with the typical girl though: I have a great sense of humor (&, make fun of the crazy things I do on occasion), I may not be great at any one sport but I love playing them all, I work my butt off to play hard, I'm constantly trying to grow and make myself better, I watch UGA games like people watch Broncos games, love trying new things, I wear heels even though I am taller than lots, and my family are among my best friends. One of my biggest fears is having life pass by too quickly - hence, why I am on match - to meet a great guy in the process. If you think we would get along, I'd love to get to know you!

Tabula Rasa is getting ready to shut down it's servers and it looks like they are going to go out with a bang.
Tabula Rasa - Feedback Friday: 02/27/09
I admire them for using this as a the basis for a huge all encompassing final battle rather than just shutting the game down quietly. It sounds like the "last resort weapon" is going to be what shuts down the game for good.We request that all military personnel begin fortifying defenses at every AFS base in preparation for a massive Bane assault. If enemy troop movements are as large as we fear, and the Neph are truly prepared to lead all out war against us, this may be our last stand. Penumbra has been informed of the situation and is standing by on the use of their last resort weapon. We can not afford to be complacent or uncertain, but if it is truly our destiny to be destroyed, we are taking them all with us.
Good luck and godspeed
AFS High Command
I wish all of the people that enjoyed this game good luck in their final battle. Give them hell!

I just bought a pair of Dublin Defy half chaps. They are BEAUTIFUL. Lovely leather, fit really nicely (I bought small, because I'm short and slender) and just look lovely. I looked at a pair of Ariats (the Concorde??) and didn't like them much, and they were $10 more expensive than the Dublins. For lower quality! The zips on the Dublins are nice and strong, and I used to have a cheap pair of Dublin half chaps that were lovely and soft but fit really well and stayed up just nice - but the zip was cheap rubbish and broke. So zips are one thing I'm really fussy with!
I also bought a pair of Dublin Defy boots to match the half chaps, and so far I'm very happy - they're my new show boots/chaps, cheaper than tall boots and a much more flexible fit. I'm thinking I might get another set of Defy boots/chaps for home, we'll see :)

Good question! I know Silverprint in the UK received bulk supplies of paper at the end of May. It does not help that the Forte web site (http://www.forte-photo.net) has no News section. Silverprint's News section says they came out of Administration, but it's not clear how up to date that news is other than sometime post May '05.
Cheers, Bob.

Queensland's rural dams, rivers and surrounding regions are becoming holiday hotspots on the back of recent summer rains - perfect conditions for boat dealers and tourist operators!
Brisbane Tinnie and Tackle show - plenty for kids
Marine manufacturers and tourist operators are seeing a significant increase in sales of ski boats and bow-riders as participation in watersports such as skiing, wakeboarding and skiing grows.
Karee Marine, one of over 90 exhibitors at this week's Brisbane Tinnie and Tackle Show, is one of the local marine distributors noticing the uptake.
'Now the dams are full we have seen a huge uptake of families purchasing bow-riders and small ski boats,' said Trevor Rowe, Owner/Operator at Karee Marine.
'They are heading to dams all over Queensland and making a weekend of camping, skiing, tubing and wakeboarding.
'With regional dams such as Somerset, Atkinson, Lake Dyre and Lake Lesley now full of water families don't have to head to the coast to go boating or fishing.
'It's also good for the towns and obviously good for us.'
Tourist parks are benefiting from the flow-on effect, with families choosing to camp by the water's edge for extended stays.
Steve Billet, Managing Director of Australian Tourist Park Management, agreed that the wet summer months had boosted occupancy across its various sites.
'A lot of our previous customers are returning to our lakeside parks as the water levels are up, the fish are biting and the water skiing is superb,' said Billett.
'Our brand, Escape2 Holiday Parks and Resorts, have several parks in these stunning fresh water locations including Lake Somerset and Lake Monduran.
'What more could you need to get out and enjoy the great outdoors!'
With above median rainfall predicted for the Autumn months by the Bureau of Meteorology, the trend looks set to continue.
The surge in popularity is reflected in exhibitor take up and the diversity of products and services at the Brisbane Tinnie and Tackle Show at the RNA Showgrounds from March 23-25. The tenth installment of the show will host 95 exhibitors in total.
The Brisbane Tinnie and Tackle Show is co-located with the National 4x4 and Outdoors Show. The event opens this Friday March 23 and runs until Sunday March 25.
Event goers are encouraged to take advantage of the free weekend train service to and from the RNA Showgrounds.
There will be a 30-minute looped service running between Central, Roma Street and Fortitude Valley stations on Saturday the 24th of March and Sunday the 25th of March.
The first service of the day will depart Central Station at 9am and the last service of the day will depart from the RNA Showgrounds at 6:30pm.Adults: $15 / Concession: $10 / Students: $10 / Kids under 15 admitted FREE.

Having served 50 years as a board member of the Counseling and Growth Center in Erie and Ottawa counties, I am very familiar with the programs for mental health and substance abuse treatment, criminal justice clients, as well as programs for adolescents in our schools. Dr. Halliday, the director of our Mental Health and Recovery Board for many years, has shown his concern and financial support. Now he has found his prevention monies for our agencies reduced by 10 percent. What are our legislators thinking? Just read our police blotter. It is horrible. Vandalism, robberies, assaults, drug and underage alcohol consumption, etc., etc.
The jails and prevention centers are overcrowded, resulting in early release. Rehabilitation will help some, but they many times return to the streets. What we need is more prevention monies directed to our schools and support groups helping our youth and their families to ensure they stay out of trouble in the first place. Forty percent of unemployed workers are millennial youth, which is becoming a real problem. I applaud Rep. Redfern voting against H.B. 483 that reduces prevention monies in the state.

Among names that have defined the very essence of Bollywood over the decades, one name that immediately pops up is that of Shah Rukh Khan, the Badshaah of Bollywood. Imagine, if you will, what would the industry be like without him? Well we might find out very soon because the latest buzz in Bollywood is that our very own King Khan is contemplating retiring and possibly starting a real estate business in Dubai.
Apparently, Shahrukh and his wife, Gauri Khan, have already commenced designing and planning a layout for their new mansion in Dubai. The house is supposed to resemble their current Mumbai abode, Mannat.
Even though this rumor might come as a rude shock, his fans can breathe somewhat in ease by knowing that at the very least, the King of countless hearts plans to continue acting for the coming three to four years. A possible alternate to absolute quitting - he may only be part of very few, select movies.
There might be some basis to the buzz, since Shahrukh stated a few months ago that he is looking towards the construction and housing industry in an attempt to further his business ventures. Nevertheless, it is still too early to tell whether or not King Khan plans to go MIA.

Shipping Rate: $0.00
This item ships directly from the manufacturer, please allow up to 2 weeks for delivery. This item does not qualify for free shipping.
Ground Shipping
Products weighing up to 75 lbs. will typically be allowed to ship via UPS Ground. If multiple products are purchased, and together exceed the maximum Ground Shipping weight limit, the method of shipping will change from Ground to Freight. In some cases a product may have oversized exterior dimensions which require Freight shipping.
Freight Shipping
Products weighting over 75 lbs., or products with oversized exterior dimensions, will ship Freight via an 18-wheel truck. Assembly or set-up is NOT included with freight shipping. All deliveries are considered "curbside" deliveries unless special arrangements are made with our customer service department. Due to the large size of many of our products, some or all of the following may be part of a Freight delivery:
- Lift Gate Fee – Additional Fee required for the Freight delivery truck to arrive with an "elevator" to lower the shipment to ground level. This is often necessary to safely lower a shipment, often containing hundreds of pounds of equipment or more, to ground level. This option is also used if a forklift, to unload the truck, is not available at your place of business. If this option is necessary for delivery to your place of business, please contact our customer service department prior to ordering at 1-800-685-2817.
- Residential Delivery Fee – Additional Fee required for delivery to a residential area, regardless if a business is present in the residential area. This fee is required due to residential areas being largely inaccessible to 18-wheel trucks. Deliveries to residential areas often require the products to be loaded onto a smaller delivery truck, which may also require a Lift Gate as described above. If this option is necessary for delivery, please contact our customer service department prior to ordering at 1-800-685-2817
- Inside Delivery Fee – Delivery to the inside of your building is NOT included on curbside freight deliveries. Inside delivery is available through many trucking companies at an additional charge, ONLY if your building is accessible to palletized freight deliveries made with a pallet jack. For more information or to request inside delivery service, please contact our customer service department prior to ordering at 1-800-685-2817.
- Pallets & Crates - Many of our larger products are packaged in boxes with protective wood crates. Both oversized boxes and wood crated products are typically placed on wood pallets for delivery. Shrink wrap is also placed around the perimeter of these larger shipment
- Refused Shipments – If this item is shipped and then refused by the customer, the customer is responsible for shipping fees back to the manufacturer and will also be responsible for shipping fees that were paid to their place of business.

Red Dog Pet Resort & SpaRead MoreRed Dog Pet Resort & Spa founder Ray Schneider believes in pampering pets and providing them with the care they deserve. As he told Dan Monk of the Business Courier, "It's a relationship that's very hard to explain. When you have a dog, you can understand it." The Blue Ash resident and entrepreneur created the sprawling, 25,000-square-foot pet hotel—and opened its second and third facilities located in Mason and Boston—because he realizes the lengths to which people will go to care for their furry friends. Since opening in Cincinnati in 2008, Red Dog Pet Resort & Spa and it's two other facilities in Mason and Boston, have been on a mission to provide five-star service to its four-legged friends. Swathed in upscale atmosphere, the spa is outfitted with all the comforts of home and more; after touring the facilities, Jeff Elkus of David's Voice said, "I wish the last resort I visited had half the amenities of Red Dog." Dogs can stay in private, themed boarding suites with flat-screen TVs and owner-monitored webcams. They exercise and socialize in climate- and airflow-controlled play areas, romp in a three-acre dog park, and don buoyancy vests to soothe achy joints in the heated aquatic center. The hotel also has an air filtration system that cleans air six times per hour. They offer multilevel lodging for cats, as well as canine grooming and training services. Schneider hired and trained a staff for 24-hour supervision and care.5081 Madison RoadCincinnati,, OH US
SwatchesRead MoreA kaleidoscope of designer fabrics in a variety of colors, patterns, and textures exists just behind Swatches' unassuming brick storefront. For more than 35 years, this locally owned and operated business has assembled a massive collection of fabrics and accessories from workrooms based in Cincinnati and around the United States. Within the showroom's expansive interior, trims and tassels sway alongside more than 1,000 bolts of fabric from designers such as Duralee, Kravet, and Fabricut. Meanwhile, the staff of seasoned home decorators stands by to assist customers, offering them counsel on appropriate design schemes or directing them toward textiles that can withstand messes made by kids, pets, and roommates who work as part-time finger-painters.11926 Montgomery RdCincinnati, OH US
Rockler Woodworking & HardwareRead MoreFamily patriarch Nordy Rockler opened the doors of his first store in 1954 to supply his fellow craftsmen with knowledge, friendly advice, and a large selection of tools for at-home woodworking projects. Now, the chain of retail outlets brims with more than 20,000 tools and specialized woodworking equipment. Next to a steely rainbow of hinges, casters, and screws, a supply of lumber and exotic hardwoods provides planks for building tree houses or just leaving around as a warning to uncooperative trees. The tenor buzz of power tools operated by newly knowledgeable guests drifts from educational sessions on operating equipment and woodworking.333 E Kemper RdCincinnati, OH US
Kramer's Sewing and VacuumRead MoreKramer's Sew & Vac specializes in sewing machines and vacuum cleaners, and it's been vending these wares since 1947. Bring in a faulty machine for a quick fix, or peruse a selection of new sewing machines from Bernina and vacuums from Miele. Kramer's also meets the needs of the sewing community with regular classes, which teach quilting and embroidery skills via traditional methods and on the computer.9907 Montgomery RoadCincinnati, OH US
