has been largely built, up on cheap
grain foods. and we have been making

The Michigan experiment station
aftsx tests found that when whole corn
was fed 10 cows - per cent was un-
mastIcated. when fed TO heifers ten per
cent. Chemical analysis showed no

expect to see an increase OF the use
of oxen on the farm. But we have the
bulls. and IL working them will make
them more harmless. Why not put
them under the yoke?
