ior it is easy for a man to be shown
after he is willing to learn.
As a rule homegrown foods should
form the main reliance. but com
mercial feeds and purchased grains
will necessarily occupy more or less
prominent place in dairy rations for
years TO come. How much of these
feeds We can use at a profit depends
upon their cost and the quality of the
cows we are feeding. Generally

Viewed from another standpoint.
the COW that is fed starvation rations
and those fed more than they can dl-

losing money for their owners. 1t is
somewhere between these extremes
