ration fed by many Massachusetts farmers
as given by the report consists OF ~

as lis manuria,l value. making the net
cost 9l5 cents. The tota, milk yield or SIX
COWS for fourteen days on this ration was
756,5l quarts. at n total cost of l.tb cents
per quart, while the net cost per quart was
i,@ cents. The amount OF butter fat in
this quantity OF milk was 6IS, pounds an. nmd
its cost per pound was 1851 cents. Tiic
ration re~commendci by the station TO take
the place of the one just noted. which IL
may he stated contains only l9o pnnnus o.
of wheat bran, three pounds OF buffalo
gluten feed. three pounds cottonsecd meal
ensllagc. This ration contains 10 pounds
of digestibie protein. and its nutritive, RAJ
ito is las. Its total cost IL loo cents. Which
is reduced 10 7.is cents AS the net cost, be-
cause II gives a richer manure, and TINS
is credited at SAG cents. In the returns OF
six cows fed this ration FOR fourteen days'
at a gross cost of l.d0 cents per 4ulnrt, and
the net cost. OF cent per quart. The Juan
tity OF butter fat obtained from the MIX
in this instance was s2.l7 pounds. at a cost
Of 1850 cents per pound. The point about

Some OF the things gained In using tina

tainable by the first one, and the aggre-
gate yield was produced at less cost. ASNin,
The increase OF butter fat with the better
ration is li.s0 pounds, and the cost of pro,
duction Is decreased 2,S7 cents per pound
as contrasted with the same item in the
account OF the first ration, Another point
that should not he overlooked Is that tpe
