ANIMAL FEEDING. 



49 



A dairy cow to produce a large yield of milk must have a 

 feed rich in protein. Such a cow will lose in quantity of 

 milk and grow fat if given a feed low in protein and high 

 k. carbohydrates and fat. A horse at heavy work requires 

 a very different feed from one at light work ; a growing 

 pig from one that is being fattened for market. Igno- 

 rance of these facts occasions great waste of feed and 

 frequent disappointment in results.
