grind the dried cossettes before mixing. Many of these dried 

 cossettes and molasses combinations are patented. 



The preparations of dried cossettes and molasses mentioned 

 above, correspond to the production of 2.5 residuum molasses 

 after a sugar campaign. Herewith are the analyses of some 

 molasses and dried cossette combinations, according to the best 

 German authorities:

Increase of The dried cossettess and molasses constitute an excellent 



weight from the f ora g 6) anc ] the on ]y ODe? accO rding to Ramm, which will give 



ar ' from the very start of its feeding, an increase in the weight of 



the animals fed. This is just the opposite result obtained with 



most beet-molasses forages, as during the early days of feeding 



there is generally an incomprehensible decrease in weight. 



A well-known expert declares that the molasses and dried 

 cossettes never form gases in the intestinal canal, which are 

 always to be dreaded with palm oil meal. 



The influence upon milk production is very considerable, and 

 much more so than is that of liquid molasses feeding. 

 Dried cossettes The experience of Olschbauer, who undertook a series of 

 and molasses comparative experiments with milch cows, one series being fed 

 with molasses and dried cossettes and the other with pressed 

 cossettes and cosse ttes, demonstrated that the best results were obtained when 

 molasses, the cossettes were dried, provided, however, that the residuum 

 product could be had at a reasonable price. 



Satisfactory results have been obtained by mixing the pressed 

 residuum cossettes with molasses before siloing; but this mode 

 is not to be recommended on account of the excessive fermen- 

 tation that is sure to follow.
