 depends («) upon the size of the cow, (/>) daily milk yield and (c) 

 the local market value of the milk. The richer the milk, the more 

 food is re(|uired to })r()duce a given amount ; and vice versa . 



Seven pounds of the above mixturi's is a fair average amount tor 

 cows weighing 800 to 900 pounds, which are yielding 10 (juarts of 

 4 per cent milk. For every 2 (|uarts of milk yiekled in excess of 

 this amount the grain ration may be increased by 1 i)ound.
