ROOTS FOR FEEDING CATTLE
Chief Function Is TO Supply succu-
ience--Haye Special AppIica-
ton for Cows Only.

Prepared by the United states Depart
nrnt of AgricultureD
The chief function of roots In cattle
feeding is TO supply succulcnt feed.
Under general farm conditions the
quantity Of nutrients grown per acre
In root crops Is small in comparison
to the cost Of production. These root
crops, however, can be preserved dur
ing IA" winter equally well whether
large or small quantities are fed
each day, and therefore have special
application when only few COWS are
TO be fed. or the different root crops
mangel wurZels furnish the greatest
yield per acre. Other kinds Of beets
and turnips and carrots may he used.
Turnips, however, should be fed after
milking rather than before, as they
cause a bad flavor In the products II
fed Immediately bt fore milking.
