It will be seen that the different cows were fed somewhat 

 different amounts of the several feedstuffs, depending upon 

 their individual needs. The basal ration consisted of hay, bran 

 and cottonseed meal to which were added an average of 4.3 

 pounds of corn meal or beet pulp daily. A slight error oc-

 of beet i^ulp as against 3.70 in case of corn meal, due, of course, 

 to the higher moisture content of the meal.
