STANDARD RATIONS FOR DAIRY COWS. 127 
Ration FE is designed especially to utilize the corn crop where 
this is cured in the field. The corn crop is also supplemented 
quite largely by oat hay and rowen. A variety of the feeds 
rich in protein is used, and this variety, together with a liberal 
proportion of corn meal and wheat bran, would tend to make 
the ration a valuable one for butter production.
