Feeding bran.
Branis an excellent food for the produc-
ton o milk in COWS, andfor feedingyoung
animals. 1t contains a large proportion
Of the phosphates, which are a most
necessary part OF the food Of an animal,
but n in which most foods are def.
cient. In a ton OF wheat bran there is
6fty-iour and a.half pounds. Rye bran
is also richer in potash than that Of
wheat, by nearly forty per cent. hence
for food, and for the resulting manure,
rye bran is preferable. In feeding bran
the value of the manure should be taken
into consideration. This, although ii
may not be seen so c~onspicuously, nor
SO quickly as the milk in the pail, or the
in creased thrift Of o young animal, yet
it as certainly exists, and in good time
will show itself in the field. II is be-
yond question that in feeding a ton of
bran, the larger part Of the profit is
made in the manure, and il one is sat-
isaed with what he gains directly in the
feeding, he may be all the more so with
that which he receives in the manure.
