FEEDING MOLASSES

Z German cattle breeders have been
especially successful in the use Of both
sugar and molasses for stock feed. The
difficulties hitherto met with in feeding
,molasses have been largely NEE hanicaL
Molasses is sticky, mussy and hara

feeds some animals do not like it, or
the mixture disagrees with them. When
these sugary mixtures are left in the
feeding troughs they ferment and
spoil.

overcome by feeding 9th sugar and
