production, while IMoore of the Mississippi Station^ holds that 1 lb. 

 of cotton-seed meal is only equal to 1.5 lbs. of wheat bran. 



Cotton-seed meal compared irifli various feeds. 



In a feeding trial with 24 cows lasting 120 days at the Virginia 

 Station,- Soule and Fain, comparing cotton-seed meal and gluten 

 meal, found that the relative amount of digestible crude protein 

 contained in these feeds was a fair measure of their feeding value. 

 At the Texas Station,^ in trials with 18 cows lasting 56 days, Soule 

 found that 6 lbs. of cotton-seed meal fed daily as the sole concentrate 

 proved more effective and gave larger profits than the larger allow- 

 ance of 7 to 10 lbs. Moore of the IMississippi Station* found 100 lbs. 

 of cotton-seed meal equal to 171 lbs. of cotton seed in feeding value 

 for dairy cows. (190) 



642, Cocoanut cake.— Hansen of the Eoyal Agricultural Acad- 

 emy, Germany/' found that cocoanut cake and the residues from the 

 manufacture of palm oil produced practically^ the same amount of 

 milk as wheat bran, but increased to a marked extent the fat con- 

 tent of the milk. Palmnut cake obtained by pressure had the same 

 influence as palmnut meal obtained by extraction. (204) 



643. Soybean cake. — Gilchrisf" of the Armstrong College, Eng- 

 land, found soybean cake slightly superior to cotton-seed cake for 

 milk production. In an experiment lasting 6 weeks, Hansen of the 

 Koyal Agricultural Academy, Germany,'^ found soybean cake and
