Turnips were found to be more expensive to produce than 

 ensilage and the other roots. They do not prevent the decrease in 

 the quantity of milk. Moreover, unless care be taken in the feeding 

 they will give a strong, disagreeable taint to the milk or butter. 



It will be seen on reference to the above table, that sugar beeta 

 not only overcame the decrease in quantity of milk, but actually 

 produced an increase. However, the cost of sugar beets is higher 

 than that of sugar mangels. 



TWO FEEDS VS. THREE FEEDS DAILY. 



Many feeders claim that it is advantageous to feed their cows 

 three times a day instead of twice, though the same total quantity 

 of each feed be fed daily. To determine the result of such a system, 

 an experiment was carried on, and shows the following: 



It will be seen therefore that two feeds per day fed at regular 

 hours are more profitable than three feeds. Two feeds per day 

 produced with less labour a larger quantity of milk.
