The amount of grain to be fed depends upon the size and condition of 

 the cow and the milk yield. Usually 1 pound of grain for each 3 pounds of 

 milk is a good rule to follow. The judgment of the observing feeder should 

 always accompany the best of rules. 



A Ration for Pigs. — A mixture, by weight, of one-third rye feed, one- 

 third velvet bean meal or cocoanut meal and one-third corn meal, corn feed 

 meal or hominy meal, is suggested. In the winter season when green feed 

 is not available, refuse vegetables, boiled small potatoes or even a little cut 

 alfalfa or silage should prove helpful supplements. 



Note. — For a discussion of the grain problem and the relative values 

 of feeds see Control Bulletin No. 7, pages 24-28, to be had on application.
