The cost of a pound of the several mixtures is likely to vary 

 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 mix- 

 tures. 



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 required to produce a given amount, and vice 

 versa. 



Six to seven pounds of the above 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. 



^ Ration desi i:ned for cows on test; rather expensive for ordinary purposes. 

 3 Beet pulp should be moistened with two or three times its weight of water before 

 feeding.
