The experiment, which has been made with two lots of cows, 

 one of which was kept as a check, has enabled the efficacy of 

 this substitution to be demonstrated. At the time of the 

 experiment a saving of 4*25 per 100 kilograms of material 

 employed was effected. 



This would represent a saving of 3,000 francs a year for a 

 herd of 100 cows. 



LA TOURTEAU D'ARACHIDE DANS I/ALIMENTATION DU 



CHEVAL. 



Par J. E. LUCAS. 



[ABSTRACT.] 



Les fourrages etant tres chers a Paris, 1'auteur a tente de 

 leur substituer une alimentation differente. 



II a utilise a ce propos la paille, la tourbe melassee et le 

 tourteau d'arachide. II obtient ainsi une alimentation con- 

 tenant les memes elements que les foins et a pu entretenir en 

 parfait etat depuis dix ans une ecurie de 25 chevaux. 



L'experience avait ete faite sur des lot temoins, ce qui a 

 permis d'etablir qu'il suffit d'ajouter a la ration une quantite 

 de 0700 kilogramme de tourteau d'arachide pour des chevaux 

 de 700 kilogrammes. 



L'auteur croit qu'il est bon de donner environ par kilo et 

 par jour i gramme de tourteau d'arachide. 



[TRANSLATION.] 

 GROUND NUT CAKE IN THE DIET OF THE HORSE. 



Fodder being very dear in Paris, the author has attempted 

 to substitute for it a different feeding stuff. 



He has utilized for this purpose straw, peat mixed with 

 molasses, and ground nut cake. He thus obtains a feeding 

 stuff containing the same elements as hay, and has been able 

 to maintain in perfect condition for ten years a stable of 25 

 horses. 



The experiment, which was made on test groups, has 

 enabled it to be established that an addition to the ration of 

 0700 kilograms of ground nut cake is sufficient for horses of 

 700 kilograms. 



The author believes that good results are obtained by giving 

 about i gram of ground nut cake per kilogram per day.
