When ensilage is made portion of
the supply for winter the mistake in its
use is in supposing that it can be made
the main reliance and that saving of
other foods is effected The correct
mode is to use it as portion of the ra-
ton. Hay and grain should also be al
lowed, but not in as large quantities as
when ensilage is given. Two pounds of
cotton seed meal and twelve pounds of
gluten meal is mixture that is highly
recommended to be allowed in addition
to the ensilage ration.

"The grounding is all right. But in
