to each cow twice a day. About 0.75 ounce of salt was mixed 

 with the grain at each feeding. About 40 pounds of water 

 were added to the grain at each feeding, making a very wet 

 feed, the cows drinking it. This is the usual method of feeding 

 grain to cattle in southern China. The cows were fed four 

 times a day all they could consume of a mixture of green 

 grasses, cut along the canal dikes or from the college campus. 

 The amount of grass eaten daily by each cow varied from 40 

 to 60 pounds. 



The milk of the native yellow cow is rich in fat, averaging 

 about 8 per cent. No analysis has been made of this milk for 

 constituents other than fat.
