Potatoes for Milch Cows.

Mr., r. A. HuNT, of Euclid, Ohio, gives
the following result of an experiment he
made in feeding carrots and potatoes to a
milch COW: The COW to which the roots
were given, had precisely the same treat
mentd each day, so far as care and other
feeds we're concerned, while the test was
being made, having nothing In addition TO
the roots but dry hay and water While
thirty,two pounds of milk were received
in return, and while the same quantity of
carrots and potatoes, equal parts were fed,
thirty-six pounds of milk were given, and
when potatoes alone were given, forty
pounds of milk were received
The roots were cut and fed in messes of
twelve quarts each three times per day,
and alternate changes made so that acor-
rect estimate might be set upon the differ
ent roots as milk producers. Mr. Hunt
believes potatoes to be paying crop when
raised for feeding milch cows alone. .--Aas'
