The composition of the inilk produced by the two rations was 

 nearly identical. 



FOOD COST OF MILK PRODUCTS. 



The difference in the cost of the milk products produced by the 

 two rations was slight. 



DRY MATTER AND DIGESTIBLE MATTER REQUIRED TO PRODUCE MILK 



AND BUTTER. 



(Pounds). 



The above calculations show that it required from 3 to 6 per cent 

 more digestible and dry matter to make milk and milk ingredients 

 with the niolasses-beet-pulp ration than with the -corn meal ration. 



F. METHOD OF FEEDING MOLASSES-BEET-PULP. 



(a) Dairy Coivs. 



Naturally one of the principal uses of this product will be as a 

 food for dairy stock. It is a carbohydrate similar to corn meal, and 

 should be mixed with one or more protein concentrates. It is bulky 

 and will serve to dilute the heavier grains. It is believed that from 

 three to five pounds daily of the pulp are sufficient for cows pro- 

 ducing an average quantity of milk. A few rations are suggested : 



150 lbs. distillers' grains. 

 200 lbs. niolasses-beet-pulp. 

 Mi.x and feed 7 lbs. (9 qts.) daily. 



75 lbs. cottonseed meal. 



75 lbs. gluten feed. 

 200 lbs. niolas.ses-beet-pulp. 

 Mix and feed 7 lbs. (8 qts.) daily.
