NOTE. This is an example of cattle feeding without root*. 

 The average consumption of grains and cakes per head, 

 per day was about 9J Ibs. ana of hay about 24 Ibs. The 

 cattle are largely kept for manure making, but this case 

 indicates that the manure cannot be made economically in 

 seasons where the root crop has failed. J.W.
