Two Systems of Feeding Dairy Cows \

High Roughage and Low Grain \ 



versus \ 



Low Roughage and High Grain " 



By J. B. Lindsey and J. G. Archibald 



The amount of grain to be fed to cows is a question of perennial 

 interest to farmers, particularly in a state like Massachusetts where grain 

 is bought outright, while roughage is grown at home. Though much has 

 been written on the subject, it has been largely opinion unsupported by 

 experimental evidence. The experiment here reported was carried out to 

 provide such evidence.
