STATEMENT OF J. D. W. FRENCH. 



The feed has been moderate, the chief object being to keep 

 the animals in good breeding condition rather than to force 

 them to make a large milk recond. 



In summer the feed has been pasture, and in addition, 

 beginning generally in August, green fodder or bran, 2 to 

 4 quarts. In winter hay, 8 quarts mangolds, and 4 to 6 

 quarts dry grain has been the average feed for cows in milk.
