ing wet grains, but believes that 25 pounds is a fair allowance 

 daily for average-sized cows.^ In addition, 2 to 4 pounds dry 

 grain may be fed daily, such as a mixture of equal parts by 

 weight of (1) mixed wheat feed and gluten feed, (2) wheat 

 bran and fine middlings, or (3) wheat bran and corn meal. 



The succulency of the w^et grains is a factor not to be over- 

 looked in estimating the value of the feed. It is not believed 

 that the wet brewers' grains are an objectionable feed stuff when 

 fed in a fresh condition and in moderate quantities. It must be 

 remembered, however, that they are likely to spoil easily, 

 excepting when the temperature is low, and the partly decom- 

 posed grains would not be considered suitable for producing 

 first-class milk. When milk is intended for the use of infants, 

 young children or invalids, it is better not to use the wet grains. 



1 It is understood that 50 or more pounds are frequently fed dailj'. It is believed, liow- 

 ever, that the smaller quantity is preferable when the grains are fed continuously aud it is 

 desired to retain the same animals in the herd from year to year.
