PLATE 26 



A-B. — A cow (No. 637) and her calf, showing the effect of a wheat-grain and corn- 

 stover ration. Another illustration of the impossibility of general success with corn 

 stover as a supplement to the wheat grain. The mother appeared in good condition, 

 but the offspring was dead. 



C. — The calf of cow 636, showing the effect of a wheat-grain, wheat-straw, and 

 organic-salt mixture. The toxicity of the wheat grain coxild not be overcome by the 

 salt mixture alone. Contrast with Plate 24, E, F, where the same cow received the 

 same ration, with com grain instead of wheat grain. 



D-F. — A cow (No. 644), showing the effect of a ration of baked wheat and wheat 

 straw. The mother was in fair condition. The calf was alive when photographed, 

 but was weak and could not stand. Note the deflection of the head, a characteristic 

 posture when lying flat, as shown in figure E. The calf died. Baking had not 

 improved the grain.
