During the first period Clover received, in addition to the ha}', six 

 lbs. per day of cotton-seed meal. During the second period six lbs. 

 of corn meal, and during the third period six lbs. of wheat bran or 

 shorts. In the fourth, fifth and sixth periods, the work of the first 

 three periods was duplicated. In the seventh period, the feed was 

 hay alone. 



Rockawa}' was fed ihrough the several periods upon the same 

 plan pursued with Clover. The resulting butter and fats were 

 obtained b}' the same processes employed in the early and late hay 

 test. 



The cows at the commencement of this experiment had been in 

 milk some seven months, which accounts for their small yields. 



The grain used in this experiment, as well as in experiments Nos. 

 4 and 5, had the following compositions, and may be considered as 

 fair representatives of these feeds, as usually found in the markets :
