The experiment, which has been made with two lots of cows, 
one of which was kept as a check, has enabled the efficacy of 
this substitution to be demonstrated. At the time of ‘the 
experiment a saving of 4°25 per 100 kilograms of material 
employed was effected. 
This would represent a saving of 3,000 francs a year for a 
herd of 100 cows.

GROUND NUT CAKE IN THE DIET OF THE HORSE. 
Fodder being very dear in Paris, the author has attempted 
to substitute for it a different feeding stuff. 
He has utilized for this purpose straw, peat mixed with 
molasses, and ground nut cake. He thus obtains a feeding 
stuff containing the same elements as hay, and has been able 
to maintain in perfect condition for ten years a stable of 25 
horses. 
The experiment, which was made on test groups, has 
enabled it to be established that an addition to the ration of 
0°700 kilograms of ground nut cake is sufficient for horses of 
700 kilograms. 
The author believes that good results are obtained by giving 
about 1 gram of ground nut cake per kilogram per day.
