THE FEEDING OF LIVE STOOK. 181 
The composition of a number of these feeds 
is given further on in this chapter. The wet 
foods are undesirable for summer use, unless 
fed when perfectly sweet, as they soon become 
badly fermented and offensive. If the dry pro-

by-products that the writer has ever used in 
feeding cattle. Gluten feed is not relished by 
cattle, in the author’s experience, as generally 
as the hominy feed.

‘Four well-known feeders of dairy cattle con- 
tribute articles on feeding by-products of corn 
to the Breeder’s Gazette of Sept. 5, 1594. The 
following quotations from three of these arti-

brands. To horses it has only been fed when ἢ
