30 CANADIAN DAIR YING. 



100 pounds of milk it was 58.3 cents. We found a 

 marked difference in individual cows with reference 

 to economy of production. Some cows produced 

 milk more economically than did other cows which 

 excelled in small cost for the food to produce a pound 

 of butter.

HIGH, MEDIUM AND LOW MEAL RATION FOR 

 COWS. 



An experiment conducted at the O. A. College 

 during the months of January, February and March, 

 1905, in comparing 12, 8 and 4 pounds meal daily fed 

 to cows, in addition to roughage, gave the following 

 results : 



The small amount of meal gave slightly more 

 economical returns, but considering the maintaining 

 of the milk flow and general good condition of cows 

 we should recommend giving to each cow about eight 

 pounds of meal daily in winter, together with what 

 roughage she will eat, as likely to give the best all 

 round results.
