These experiments were made with six cows from the College herd. 
Annie Laurie and Ream Ruthie are Ayrshires; Stumpy and Hileen are 
Jerseys; Toughy is a South Coast cow; Whiteflank is a grade Shorthorn. 
Many other animals in the herd are giving far greater yields than several of the 
above cows, but the latter are suitable for the purpose, as they are accustomed to 
stall-feeding. For the first week they were allowed to feed as usual in the 
paddocks, no extra food being given. For the next two weeks they were fed on 
bran, cow-pea chaff, and molasses, the quantities being given elsewhere. A 
yery slight increase was made as regards quantity of milk, and the proportion of 
butter-fat was practically unchanged. 
FEEDING ON CHAFF, BRAN, AND MOLASSES AND ORDINARY PASTURE FROM 12TH TO 
25TH OCTOBER.
