new COW FOOD
BEING TESTED
in MARYLAND

Extensive tests of the valncs of
various new feeds for dairy cows
have been made by the United States
Department of Agriculture at its
experiment farm in Maryland, and
the results are now made avail
able generally in department Bulle
tin 1872, just published. Details of
the work were carefully planned 10
insure Il fair test. In every case
the feed tried out was compared
with some standard feed as similar
in composition as could be obtained
and one that might be replaced by
the new feed if found satisfactory.
Fish meal, though not. 50 palat-
able as cOttonseed meal, was found
to be worth, pound for pound, 20 to
% per cent more than prime cot
tonseed meal. The cows would eat
all that was offered, and no bad
effects on the physical condition of
the COWS were noted. The flavor
of the milk apparently was not af-
fected in any way either by expos
ing the milk to the odor of fish
meal or by feeding the cows 4
pounds of the fish meal before milk
ing.
Peanut feed containing 27.25 per
cent crude protein possesses a nu-
triitive value not exceeding ~ per
cent of prime cottonseed meal. 1t
is thought that the protein content
affords {. fairly reliable guide in
estimating the value of this feed in
comparison with cOttonseed meal.
Request Bulletins
Potato meal is worth not more
than 7S per cent as much as corn
meal The maximum value that
can be assigned TO velvet-bean meal
is 65 per cent that. of cottonseed
meal. Sweet-potato meal appears
to be almost as valuable as corn
meal Potato silage and corn sill
age were found to possess about the
same feeding value. Apple-pectin
pulp compared with dried beet pulp
was found to be less palatable and
less efficient as a feed.
Hydrolvzed sawdust is unpalat-
able, contains but little nutriment
and can be fed only in small qian-
titles. The maximum valua that
can be assigned to the sawdust is
14.5 per cent of that of corn meal.
Supplementing with cane molasses
{; ration that is already suitable is
not economical. Compared with an
equal value of hominy feed the
molasses appears slightly less valu-
able. Molasses TENDERS feeds of
poor quality more palatable and IN
duces Il greater consumption of nu-
trients, Il matter of importance III
fending exceptionally high-produc-
ing cows.
Details of the experiments .aare
