In the autumn the cows are housed at night for some weeks before the}' are 
kept in altogether, and those that give milk get their 3 D. lbs. of bran or coarse 
meal, besides hay, straw, and turnips. In the spring, when the cows are first 
put on grass during the day, they go under roof at night, and get then the 
same allowance of bran, meal, hay, straw, and turnips ; but after a few days 
they refuse the bran and meal, while they greedily consume the l\ay, straw, 
and turnips. In 1872 the cows were put on grass on the 12th of May, and 
until the 16th of May they consumed in the stable at night 8i cwt. of 
artificial food, and 51 bushels of turnips. On the 30th of August they were 
again put into the stable at night ; and until the 24th of October, when they 
were kept in altogether, they consumed in the stable at night 41 cwt. of 
artificial food, besides hay and straw. This manner of feeding the cows at 
night in the stable answers very well. When the grass is scarce in the summer, 
as was the case in 1868 and 1870, some bran and coarsely ground meal is 
given to the cows in the water they drink. 
During last winter (1873) the following fodder per cow daily, besides straw, 
was given to the milking-cows :—
