EXPERDIEXT STATION. 



[Jan. 



Duration of Experiment. 



The method of caring for, feeding and weighing the animals, 

 of sampling the feeds and milk, was the same as described 

 under the oat v. corn meal experiment puhlished elsewhere in 

 this report. The milk was sampled for five consecutive days 

 on the first, third and fifth week of the experiment. 



Character of Feeds. — The hay was early cut and well cured, 

 being an admixture of Kentucky blue grass with some clover 

 and sweet vernal grass. The corn meal and spring bran were 

 of good average quality. Cottonseed meal was of good color, 

 but rather below the average in protein. The plain beet pulp 

 was of normal character.
