fat over that produced during the cow-pea test shortly before. 
On the corn fodder rations, cows 5, 6 and 7 diminished in 
milk flow quite rapidly until the last period (7) that this kind 
of fodder was fed. In period 7 the corn fodder had a larger 
proportion of ears than the earlier-fed lots and proved more 
palatable to the animals, as shown by the fact that there was 
no refuse. ‘The increase in milk during this period may be 
due to these conditions.
