THE MILK YIELD.

st has generally been claimed that
milk is not notably affected by feed,
but here are some statements by a
Scotch dairyman as TO experiments
which will challenge attention. He
says:
1T was found that changing from
a narrow To a wide, nutritive ration
creased the fat content. the change be.
ing more pronounced in the mornings
than in the evenings milk; and also
that feeding all the grain ration in the
morning tended to increase the fat con-
tent OF the mornings milk. Feeding all
the grain in the evening also tended to
Increase the fat content Of the morn
ing's milk, but had apparently little or
no effect on the evenings milk. These
changes persisted for a number Of
weeks after the conclusion of the ex-
pertinent proper.
while milking Mt equal intervals is
believed to be the best method OF pre-
venting the fat content of the morn
ing's milk from falling below the legal
standard OF three per cent. and should
be adopted wherever possible, the re-
suits, nevertheless, show that the fat
content Of the mornings milk may be
Increased by feeding liberal supply
Of highly ntrogenOus feeding stuffs
In the morning. During the summer
months the average fat content of the
mornings milk OF the herd under an
vestigation was on most days below
three per cent. Similar results have
been obtained with other herds in diff
ferent parts Of the country.
