INTERNATIONAL STOCK FOOD FOR DAIRY COWS. 



At the instance of the International Stock Food manufacturers, an experiment 

 to get some information as to the value of Stock Food as an addition to the ration 

 of dairy cows in millv was instituted. 



The report which follows does not seem to indicate that it has much value as a 

 food for this class of stock. 



In the valuation put on the food when Stock Food was fed no account is taken 

 of the cost of the Stock Food.
