corn does not imply that IT shoUad never
be used, for there are farms where II is
necessary to feed q moderate amount
OF grain. This is particularly true Of
cattlemen who are conducting pure
bred business and who advertise their
stock by exhibiting at the various live
stock shows. The results Of this study
simply indicate that care should be
taken that no unnecessary quantities
of corn are fed.
There are 154 farms (not Qsite one
third OF those studied) on which corn
was fed TO the breeding herd for at
least part Of the winter. The average
winter feed bin for these farms was
S1T.1O per head, as against $3.50 for
the COWS receiving no grain There
were 50 OF. these farms where less
than 10 per cent OF the ration was
composed OF grain and where the COWS
received an average Of 2 bushels Of
corn and Is pounds OF eottonseed
meal per head during the winter. As
a per cent OF this winter ration con-
sisted Of cheap roughage and as the
amount Of feed used was not excessive,
the COWS were carried through the
winter at an average cost OF
$3.50, or cents q day. In the herds
where grain constituted more than
10 per cent Of the ration, tie COWS re-
ceIved an average OF from 9 to Is
bushels OF corn, much OF which Ess
