VIRGINIA EXPERIMENT STATION,
fBLACKsBURG. VA, September "a
Large amounts OF timothy hay are often
fed to dairy COWS because it is thought
to be very rich and nourishing food
stuff, but In experiments made with "a
COWS at the station last winter, It would
seanls that Shredded slower when well
made and preserved can often used to
replace tho timothy nay to advantage
AS timothy hay brings from $40 to .$1b
a ton on the market and shredded slower
Is practically q waste product on the
farm, the economy OF utilizing tho tier
is apparent to all. at
There Is another question OF more than
passing interest to the dairyH1an, and
that is the balancing up Of his ration, with
some concen trate rich IN protein. Gluten
meal and cotton seed meal We're fed on
tho basis ofithe content Of digestlblo pros
EteIn5 for this purpose, and provided the
market price lis the same per pound OF
dgestible protein. there Is little to choose
between the two, except that the gluten
meal was not as readily eaten BY the
COWS and 1t made the butter fat sort -
whereas cotton seed meal was readily
eaten and increases the melting point OF
butter, which gives It decided adyan'-,.
$tage for feeding In summer. M
These results show that the proper
basis of comparing food-stuffs is ACCORD
Ing to the amount OF digestible protein
they contain.lIt is thus apparent that
farmers often make the mistake OF feed
/ Ing wheat bran which contains only IL
per cent, OF digestlbe protein. as COM
pared with cotton seed meal which when
pure contains s72 per cent, Of digestlble
protein, AS cotton seed meal and wheat
bran can often be bought at practically.
the same price the farmer who buys
wheat bran pays three times as much
for the digestibe protein contained as
the farmer who utlllzes cotton seed meal.

With an energy almost inconceiV-
