production, while Moore of the Mississippi Station 1 holds that 1 Ib. 

 of cotton-seed meal is only equal to 1.5 Ibs. of wheat bran. 



Cotton-seed meal compared with various feeds. 



In a feeding trial with 24 cows lasting 120 days at the Virginia 

 Station, 2 Soule and Fain, comparing cotton-seed meal and gluten 

 meal, found that the relative amount of digestible crude protein 

 contained in these feeds was a fair measure of their feeding value. 

 At the Texas Station, 3 in trials with 18 cows lasting 56 days, Soule 

 found that 6 Ibs. of cotton-seed meal fed daily as the sole concentrate 

 proved more effective and gave larger profits than the larger allow- 

 ance of 7 to 10 Ibs. Moore of the Mississippi Station* found 100 Ibs. 

 of cotton-seed meal equal to 171 Ibs. of cotton seed in feeding value 

 for dairy cows. (190) 



642. Cocoaimt cake. Hansen of the Royal Agricultural Acad- 

 emy, Germany, 5 found that cocoanut cake and the residues from the 

 manufacture of palm oil produced practically the same amount of 

 milk as wheat bran, but increased to a marked extent the fat con- 

 tent of the milk. Palmnut cake obtained by pressure had the same 

 influence as palmnut meal obtained by extraction. (204) 



643. Soybean cake. Gilchrist 6 of the Armstrong College, Eng- 

 land, found soybean cake slightly superior to cotton-seed cake for 

 milk production. In an experiment lasting 6 weeks, Hansen of the 

 Royal Agricultural Academy, Germany, 7 found soybean cake and
