The cost of a pound of the several mixtures is Hkely to var}' 

 from 1.4 to 1.6 cents. It is believed that the above selections are 

 more economical on the basis of their content of nutritive material 

 than most of the sugar feeds and other proprietary mi.xtures. 



In general, it may be said that the amount of grain to be fed 

 daily depends (a) upon the size of the cow, (b) daily milk yield, 

 and (c) the local market value of the milk. The richer the milk, 

 the more food is reqtiiied to produce a given amount, and vice 

 versa. 



Six to seven pounds of the abo\'e mixtures is a fair average 

 amount for cows weighing 800 to 900 pounds, which are yielding 

 10 quarts of 4 to 5 per cent milk. For every two quarts of milk 

 yielded in excess of this amount the grain ration may be increased 

 by one pound.
