Bro. Bancroft desired to know, ifthe broth,
followed the Iron clad rule" in feeding, viz
so much and no variations; or, whether Il
q changed the feed for his COWS occasionally.
Bro. Menseh sad; feed about the same a

i'g TO much, would it not be better to feed full
feed. than 10 iced just what would keep COW
living.
Bro. Mensch-I think when a Gov receives the
proper attention wirh the quantity Of feed that l
nave recommended, viz; three quarts brau two
quarts corn meal and one pint Of cotfol seed meal
morning and evening. with a peck of roots At
noon' there will be no danger of over feeding,
