At one of the experiment eta tions a test was made to find out if it was profitable to feed milk cows when on pasture a grain ra- tion, The test proved tbat it did not. During tbe past dry, hot spell we found oar cows failing in their anlk, so we began feeding a grain ration acd at tbe same time
keeping a careful record of each cow. 3 cows were given a ratkn
of 6 pounds of brar, and two were given 3 pounds of bran snd Z
pounds ef middlings. A'l were sprayed twice a day with a mix- ture of oil and pine tar. The test showed a email gain, varying from 1 pound to £ pound at easb milking. There was no difference in the increase from the cows fed on bran alone and those fed bran and middlings. The cost of feed was t cents a ration, so to make it profitable each cow ,<rnght te] have made an inoresss of « per day. Tbe feeding was tinned foil,fttftrdeys.
