The treatment and feed of these cows has been of the same 

 kind as the balance of my stock. They were fed during the 

 stabling season with about two-thirds salt and one-third Eng- 

 glish hay, and eight quarts per day each, equal parts of corn 

 meal and oil meal. From the last of May to date they have 

 been in poor pastures, and have had what hay they could take. 

 Also four quarts per day each of the same kind of grain, for 

 the first two months, and eight quarts per day the last two 

 months.
