128 STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 
Ration F is given more particularly to show the increased 
value of a mixed silage of corn and soy beans as compared with 
corn alone. The 25 pounds of this mixed silage gives four- 
tenths of a pound of protein, while in ration D 30 pounds of 
corn silage only furnishes three-tenths of a pound. ‘The clover 
rowen in this ration also helps to increase the protein, so that 
but one pound of Buffalo gluten is needed to give a well- 
balanced ration.
