MAINE STATE COLLEGE 



the summer of 1890 the cows were at pasture after May 30th 

 and until October 10th, although with the exception of about two 

 months they ate considerable hay in the barn. The grain ration 

 was continued unchanged throughout the season. The following 

 tables show the amounts of the different kinds of food eaten by 

 the several animals during the years 1888-89 and 1889-90, 

 and also the average daily ration for each animal during the time 

 that the trials have been carried on.
