Aylette, fed with roots, produced only 148-6 litres ; average 7 litres. 
Thus during tliese two periods of 15 and 21 days the pulp mode of 
feeding produced respectively 115-40 litres and 156-20: total 271-60. 
Tlie root system produced during the same time respectively 106-60 
and 140-60 = 255-20. There is thus a quantity of milk equal to 16-40 
litres in favour of the pulp.

improved under the influence of pulp feeding, or decreased with 
roots.

There results from tliis table that the increase in weight of the two 
cows fed with pulp is double that obtamed by the roots.

From these divers tables it appears, — 
That there is a greater increase of produce with pulp than 
witli roots. 
That the quality of the milk has also improved by the pulp 
mode of feeding. 
That the live-weight has also increased. 
That the condition is more satisfactorj'.
