After the previously stated mode of feeding, and the quantity and 

 quality of the milk obtained thereby had been carefully tested during 

 two weeks' observation under the management of the Station, 



Corn Ensilage 

 was introduced as an additional article of the daily diet, in the fol- 

 lowing way. The amount of corn meal, four quarts (6 1-2 lbs. ) per day 

 remained the same during the entire trial. The ensilage was gradu- 

 ally substituted for the hay in the daily fodder, as far as the animal 

 felt disposed to consume it. During the first twelve days of the ex- 

 periment, each was offered forty pounds of ensilage per day, and 

 subsequently sixty pounds, besides all the hay they would consume. 

 They varied widely in their preference, as subsequent detailed state- 

 ments show. The manner of feeding was as follows : At 5 : 30 A. M. 

 the meal was fed to the animals during milking, and at 6 o'clock the ensi- 

 lage. At 12 o'clock M. from four to five pounds of ha}' were offered : 

 and at five P. M. the remainder of the meal was given, and the rest 

 of the ensilage soon after. At 8 o'clock P. M., from four to five 

 pounds of hay were again offered. Any material remaining after each 

 feeding was removed and weighed. As a rule they consumed first 

 the leaves of the corn, and left, if any, more or less of the harder stem 

 parts behind. They received twice per day all the water they would 

 drink.
