Molasses AS a Cattle Food.

A correspondent of a German paper
gives a description of the manner in
which molasses is being used as cattle
food. At the present moment the use
to which molasses can be put is ques-
tion of considerable importance in Ger
many, inasmuch as the export Of this
product to France, which formerly went
to that country in great quantities, is
now stopped, owing to the heavy duty
imposed there. The writer in question
had been paying visit TO the neighbor-
hood of Roitsch (Prussian Saxony) aud
availed himself of the chance of obtain
ing information as to the mode and ex-
tent of the use of molasses as cattle
food. He says:
My friend had asked farmer to delay
the feeding of his COWS until We could
be present Molasses is served out to
them at midday and in the evening, in
the following way: After they had
eaten about three-fourthS of the dry fod.
der, the molasses, mixed with broth, is
poured over the remainder. 1t was a
sight to see, when the maids came with
buckets containing the broth, how ex-
pectantly and greedily the animals look,
ed for it, and could hardly wait till il
was poured over the fodder. When this
was done you should have seen and
heard the eager consumption of the
whole; any COW keeper would have
been delighted with it
We afterward inspected the managers.
They were cleaned out and licked per-
fectly clean-a proof that the animals
appreciated this kind of feed. Milk
cows, cows in calf and oxen get daily
three pounds of molasses a head. The
farmer takes the molasses just as il
comes from the factory, and pours il
into the stone trough in the feeding
shed. This method of using involves nc
trouble OF preparation or new apparatus
In my opinion it is the simplest and besi
way of utilizing molasses.
The farmer whose establishment we
visited has been using this system oi
feeding for some time. 1t has not had
the slightest i'll effect on his stock, and
he will adhere to it for the future. A
further visit to a neighboring state,
where there were eighty cows in the
sheds, and over one hundred oxen, led
to the same experience. In this farm
the molasses had been used continuous
ly, as above described, for period o.
two years.
In commencing to use the molasses
from one to one and half pounds {
head is given at first, and after about ,
fortnight the quantity is gradually in
creased to three pounds.-AmericaI
