wheat feed about one part. The total cost of the ration 
was 18.4 cents. By substituting old-process linseed meal for a 
part of the cob meal, and cutting down the total amount of the 
grain feed, the grain ration was cheapened nearly one cent per 
day. By increasing the amount of oat hay in the ration, and 
cutting down somewhat on the total amount of coarse fodder, 
a further saving was also made, so that, taken as a whole, the 
second ration cost 2% cents per day less than the first ration. 
Although the second test was begun a month later than the 
first there was an increase in both the milk and butter product 
of the herd in favor of the second test.
