During the summer months the ration consisted of pasture 

 supplemented by two pounds of corn and cob meal, one pound 

 of bran, and one pound of rye. During winter it was composed 

 of eight pounds of corn and cob meal, five pouds of clover hay 

 and a liberal allowance of corn stover. The farm produced each 

 year a large amount of clover hay which contributed much to the 

 cheapness of the ration. The supplementary feeding in summer 

 was good, but a larger use should have been made of cowpea and 

 clover hay in the winter ration. In this particular case a silo 

 would have been very desirable for no objection would have been 

 made to the use of silage.
