Cows marked * have been under test, and are referred to more special 
in another report sent herewith. | 
The cows, with such exceptions, were grazed in the creek paddock durifl 
the daytime, and in the home paddock during the night. i 
The six cows with which these tests were carried out are the cows the H 
of which were given in last month’s Journal. | 
They were allowed to feed on ordinary pasture for 10 days, commen” 
6th November, 1899. : F | 
At the end of this period they were fed, twice a day, on a ration consist 
of 10 lb. mixed chaff, 4 lb. bran, and 1 quart molasses (the molasses bel 
diluted with 3 quarts of water) for each cow, this feeding being continued 
10 days. 4 
As may be seen by the results given on next page, the percentage of putt 
fat and yield of milk remained practically the same, a result which may 
“attributed to a great extent to the fact that the natural pasture was very 8” 
at the time. |
