cow RELISHES ROUGH FEEDS
Animal Possessed Of Large, Roomy Di-
qestive Tract That Is Built for
Handling Bulky Feed.

Unlike the hog, the COW has large
roomy digestive tract that is built for
the handling of rough feeds. The COW
digests her feed to best advantage
when her ration is bulky, as the bulky
parts of the feed keep the small par
ticles of grain apart and thus allow
them to be thoroughly acted on by the
digestive juices. The hay and silage
should not constitute all the bulk OF
the ration, as part of it can profitably
be supplied by such feeds as corn and
cob meal, ground oats, wheat bran and
distillers' dried grains.-Iowa Circular
