The above rations are inleiided for average sized cows, producing 

 10 to 12 quarts of milk daily. The quantity fed can be increased or 

 decreased according to the capacity of the animal to utilize it. 

 Heavy milking Holsteins will profitably utilize from one-half as much 

 again to double the quantity. The usual roughage ration for the 

 above mixtures will consist of what hay the animals will eat clean 

 (20 to 24 pounds)* or one bushel corn silage and 12 to 16 pounds hay 

 daily. 



Pasturage: A number of pounds of the above grain rations may 

 be used to supplement pasturage, although they are rather rich in 

 protein for such a purpose. Mixtures by weight of half and half 

 gluten feed and molasses-beet-pulp, or one-third wheat bran, one- 

 third gluten feed and one-third beet pulp, or of one-third distillers' 

 grains and two-thirds beet pulp would be considered preferable. 



{b) Other Stock. 



Fattening: It should prove satisfactory for fattening beef animals, 

 in the proportion of two-thirds beet pulp, to one-third cottonseed or 

 gluten meal. 



Swiiie : The station was not successful in feeding it to pigs, the 

 animals uniformly refusing it. It is possible that they might be 

 taught to eat it, though it is doubtful if it would prove as satisfac- 

 tory as corn or hominy meals, because of its high fiber content. 



Horses : The station has not yet fed it to horses, although it is 

 believed it may be used with good results. A ration by weight of 

 one-third oats, one-third bran, and one-third molasses-beet-pulp is 

 suggested. The manufacturers advise that it be thoroughly moist- 

 ened before being fed to horses. 



G. IS IT ECONOMY FOR FARMERS TO USE THE 



PRODUCT ? 

 Farmers who are in position to produce their own feed cannot, as 

 a rule, afford to purchase starchy concentrates : they should be pro- 



*Ten pounds of corn stover may be used in place of S to 9 pounds ol hay.
