If one has rich alluvial meadows, no

worth any reasonable price. In rec

which he might tie his horse.
Here is one six feet high" said his

He well knew that though small, fiat

USE OF DIVIDERS
IN A DAIRY BATON
Not Generally Understood Among
Feeders-Number OF Feeds
That May Be Employed.

The use of dividers in a dairy ra.
tion is not commonly understood by
the generality of feeders, but 1t is es-
sential in securing the best results.
There is a number of feeds that
may be used for dividers in the feed.
ing of concentrated feeds.
Some of these contain but little
feeding value when fed alone. but are
highly valuable when fed in connec.
tion with the richer concentrates. be
cause they serve to separate the food
particles and assist in preparing the
food for more perfect digestion.
Corn and cob meal have been found
20 give better results in many in.
stances than when corn meal is fed
alone. The ground cobs serve as a
divider. and separate the particles OF
corn meal more than the ground cobs.
When feeding grain and ensilage we
have found that the cows make bet.
ter use of their grain feeds when they
are fed with the ensilage than when
fed separate, because the ensilage acts
as divider and separates the parti.
cles OF grain. and prepares 1t for more
perfect digestion and assimilation.
The juices of the ensilage also act
upon the grain feeds and assist in the
work OF digestion.
