THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL CONVENTION

in racks in the lot, or on the pasture. In feeding any of them, 

 the condition of the cattle should be watched carefully. Some 

 dry roughage should be kept where the cows can get it. 



If the cows are to do their best, it is important that they do 

 not lack feed at any time during the year. If the flow of milk 

 is permitted to decrease materially it is very difficult to bring it 

 back to the point it would have reached had an abundance of 

 feed been supplied. The effects of meager feeding last for some 

 time after liberal feeding has been restored. Cows poorly win- 

 tered will not do as well the following year. Milch cows can not 

 withstand as much cold as fattening steers and should be pro- 

 tected from severe weather and cold rains. The cow that is 

 kept comfortable will give the best returns. 



The following table shows the amount of digestible nutri- 

 ents in one or more pounds of the feeding stuffs named — modi- 

 fied from Henry's "Feeds and Feeding."
