FOOD KEQUIKE^IENTS OF FARM ANIMALS. 



It is generally assumed in comparing the food require- 

 ments of the different classes of farm animals that one cow 

 at pasture will eat about seven tenths as much dailv 

 as a full-grown horse, or as much as two yearling colts, 

 heifers, or young bulls, or as three to five calves, or four 

 colts taken fr(jm the mare, or ten to twelve sheep, or as 

 twelve to twenty three-months-old lambs, or as four to five 

 swine. It may be figured that the quantity of pasture grass 

 eaten by a cow per day, which of course will vary with the 

 season and the condition of the pasture, will equal 25-30 Ibs- 

 of good meadow hay or 40 lbs. hay of inferior quality.
