Feeding Experiments.

Bulletin No. IA of the Iowa Agricultur
al Experiment Station is being mailed. 1t
contains an experiment showing the effect
If feed on the quality of milk, indicating
that:
1st. Quality Of milk so far as meas
ured by It's percentage of fat was changed
by feed to much greater degree than was
quantity. Two-thirds of the increase III
average gross yield OF butter fat was due
to improved quality of milk and one third
to increased milk flow.
I'd. Sugar meal produced SO of a
pound more butter fat per 100 pounds of
milk than did corn and cob meal; this diff
ference Is II per cent. of the amount OF
fat i'll 100 pounds of milk produced by
corn and cob meal.
81. Sugar meal produced 73 of pound
more total solids per 100 pounds Of milk
than did corn and cob meal; this differ
ence is 6 per cent. of the solids in 100
pounds Of milk produced by corn and
cob-meal
4th. As compared with corn and cob
meal, sugar-meal increased the ratio of fat
to ''solids not fat in 100 pounds Of milk
from 396 per 1000 of solids not fat to
457 per | 900 of solids not fat''-an in
crease of over Is per cent.
A calffeedins experiment indicates
that:
LIST. A ration of skim milk and ground
faxseed compares favorably with new
milk ration for young calves.
I'd. The larger gain came from the
whole milk, but part of it was partly due
to the indi 7iduallty of the calves, and
good results and thrifty growth were
made on skim milk and ground aaxseed.
81. The skimmilk calves were inter
rupted less in their growth by weaving
than the whole milk calves
4th. A saving in value OF butter fat
alone of 81 IL per month on each calf was
effected by substituting the ground fax
seed
5tb. The cot of producing pound OF
gain estimating new milk at eighty-seven
and half cents per 100 pounds and skim
milk at fifteen cents per 100 pounds. grain
one cent per pound, hay S. per ton, and
fiaxseed meal three and half cents per
pound) was seven and six-tenths cents for
the fresh milk ration and FIVE cents for the
skim milk ration.
A feeding experiment for milk indicates
that:
1st. Corn is not perfect milk ration.
I'd. The substitution Of bran and oil |
meal results in an increase of quantity
and quality Of milk.
