clover hay and bran or oats than does cornmeal, although 
for fattening cornmeal was the better feed. Trials with 
sheep have failed to show that the dried-molasses beet 
pulp is any better for a feed than plain dried pulp. One 
hundred pounds of fresh pulp absorbs about six pounds 
of molasses; this will produce from fifteen to eighteen 
pounds of dried-molasses beet pulp. The usual amount 
of wet pulp to feed sheep is from seven to ten pounds a 
head each day, and of dried pulp about the same weight 
as the grain they would have received. It is usually ac- 
cepted by stock-men that eight sheep or twelve lambs 
should receive the same quantity of feed as one steer. 
Although wet fermented pulp is ordinarily considered 
too bulky and too laxative for horses, it has been con- 
cluded that when fed in limited quantities it is not harm- 
ful. Farm work horses eating as much as twenty pounds 
daily did well on this feed when combined with oats and 
alfalfa hay.1 When thus fed, the pulp displaced about 
one-sixth of its weight of oats. Perhaps more of the 
pulp is fed to horses in the dried form, and especially 
molasses-dried, than in any other form. In any form, 
pulp is not extensively used for horses, except for young 
growing animals and for brood mares when a rather laxa- 
tive feed is desired. 
During their growing period, swine make good use of 
pulp, as do also sows without pasture. When fed in 
moderate quantities, young pigs relish it and make good 
gains, although grass answers the same purpose by act- 
ing as a mechanical agent to stimulate digestion. Pulp
