of adding 9 pounds of cottonseed hulls, 2 pounds of cot- 

 tonseed meal and 1 pound of wheat bran. 

 This second trial is shown in the table below : 

 SECOND TRIAL RATION FOR DAIRY Cow. 



The second trial ration meets the standard approximately both 

 as to, quantity and proportions of nutrients. From this we learn 

 that 10 pounds of corn stover, 10 pounds of cowpea hay, 5 

 pounds of clover hay, 9 pounds of cottonseed hulls, 2 pounds of 

 cottonseed meal and 1 pound of wheat bran make a well-balanced 

 feed and should be a satisfactory ration for a dairy cow weighing 

 1,000 pounds and yielding about three gallons of milk daily. 



Note. It is not necessary to compound a ration meeting the 

 standard with exactness. A reasonable approach to it is all that 

 is required. 



108. What quantities each of five feeding stuffs used 

 at your home may be used in combination so as to furnish 

 an approximately balanced ration for a dairy cow weigh- 

 ing 1,000 pounds and yielding 22 pounds of milk daily ? 



Note. For digestible nutrients see appendix. 



109. Using for the purpose timothy hay, corn, oats, 

 and bran, how many pounds each will be required for 

 feeding a horse weighing 1,000 pounds and doing light 

 work?
