182 INDIAN CORN CULTURE. 
desired to winter cheaply and had no heavy 
work. The mixture used was two parts gluten, 
two parts bran and one part linseed meal, with 
plenty of good hay. Were I to do the same 
again I would add one part of what is called in 
the East provender, half corn and half oats, 
ground. 1 have never noticed any ill effect 
from the use of gluten with dairy cows. Some 
believe it to make butter soft, or with less body 
to it. The cream from my own dairy herd has 
always gone to the creamery, but butter was 
made from that of the Pennsylvania experi- 
ment station herd, with which I have been 
associated, and there was never any difficulty 
in making a fine quality of butter that con- 
trolled a good market. * * * During last 
winter’s feeding, with the high price of bran, 
gluten was made the basis of the mixture, as 
three parts gluten to one part oil-meal and one 
part cotton seed. 
C. A. Sweet: Has fed considerable gluten 
meal of the Buffalo brand to his herd of Jer- 
seys. Feeds three quarts per day in two feeds, 
mixed with double the quantity of bran. Has 
only used it in cold weather and mixed it with 
water about twelve hours before feeding. He 
believes it a wholesome food for the cattle, and 
that it increases the milk flow.
