Seven pounds is the usual quantity to be fed daily to cows pro- 

 ducing 10-12 quarts of average milk. The richer the milk, the 

 more food is needed to produce a definite quantit}'. Grain prices 

 being high, feeders in localities where there is not a quick demand 

 for milk may find it economy to use but 5 pounds of grain daily, and 

 a maximum amount of home grown roughage. f Heavy milking Hol- 

 steins weighing 1200 or more pounds, generally require from 10-14 

 pounds of grain daily, depending upon the flow of milk. The 

 usual daily roughage ration for the above grain mixtures will consist 

 of what hay the animal will eat clean (18—24 pounds) or one bushel 

 of corn silage and 10-16 pounds of hay.
