Feeds and Feeding. 



We learn by this table that over 18 per cent, of the dry ear 

 corn and only 3 per cent, of the silage corn passed through the 

 alimentary tract in practically unbroken form. The voided corn 

 was tested in a seed germinator, 43 per cent, of the dry corn grains 

 and none of the silage kernels germinating. (538) 



635. Maize feed versus corn meal and bran. At the Vermont 

 Station, Hills 1 compared maize feed with corn meal and bran, 

 equal parts by weight, for dairy cows. The roughage consisted 

 of two parts of hay and one of silage.

636. Gluten feed compared with corn meal and bran. In trials 

 by Hills at the Vermont Station 2 cows were fed daily eight 

 pounds of corn meal and bran, equal parts by weight, during the 

 first and third periods. In the second period gluten feed was 

 substituted for half the corn and bran mixture.
