from tllS DlTI eve NIcN, IL Will o-
easy to calculate the fodder value of any Of
the above articles which you may raise.
For instance, if you have 50t pounds Of tur-
nips, they will give you as much nutrition
to vour cattle as 100 pounds OF good hay,
or in other words, it VIII take pounds OF
turnips to be equal to one pound of hay.
An OK, it is said. requires per cent OF
hay per day if he does not work. Suppose,
therefore, you have al OK that weighs 1900
pounds; he viii require 80 pounds Of hay
per day if he does not work. But you wish
10 iced him in part turnips- II you give
him Is pounds of hay, how many pounds of
turnips must you give him TO make up the
supply. Ans - pounds, which, at 60
pounds to the bushel, viii be pecks.
again, according to the table, 4 little more
than half pound of Indian corn is equal TO
a pound of hay. Ii, therefore, you give the
same OK but - pounds Of hay how much
Indian corn must he have TO supply the 10
pounds? Answer \ little over s! pounds.
Allowing corn to weigh 80 pounds TO the
bushel, it will take 81 quarts.
Allowing the estimates in the table 70 be
correct. they viii be 4 convenient guide to
the farmers in feeding cattle, etc, on other
articles, in order to save their hay.
