Two hundred and twenty-five pounds of mixed grain and GGO 

 lbs. of Hungarian ha}' furnished 925. G8 lbs. of milk, and 43.743 lbs. 

 of butter — the milk containing 32.71 lbs. of fat. 



The same quantity of grain and 6G0 lbs. mixed hay gave 904.22 

 lbs. of milk, 42.273 lbs. butter, and the milk contained 31.49 lbs. of 

 fat. 



The relative value of the Hungarian to the mixed ha}' was as 100 

 to 97.68 for milk production, and for butter production as 100 to 

 9G.64. 



The twenty-two pounds mixed hay was all the animals would 

 consume per day. The same quantity of Hungarian was eaten with 

 much apparent relish, and evidently more would have been utilized 

 had it been supplied. 



Experiment No. 6. 



Practical Comparison of the feeding values of Corn Meal, Cotton- 

 seed Meal, and Wlieat Bran. 



To learn the comparative practical feeding values of cotton-seed 

 meal, corn meal and bran, as milk and butter producers when used 

 in connection with good hay, was the purpose of this feeding test. 



Two cows, Clover and Rockawav, were fed throuoh seven twelve- 

 day periods upon good mixed hay, tlie quality of which was nnilbrm 

 throughout the whole time of feeding. Rockaway received twenty 

 pounds daily, while nineteen pounds was all Clover would consume.
