Feeds; Animal nutrition. 278 FEEDS AND FEEDING, ABRIDGED fed to dairy cows, the former having the higher value per ton on ac- count of their less watery nature. Rutabagas and turnips should be fed immediately after milking to avoid tainting the milk. Many breeders esteem roots highly for cows which are being forced to the utmost production on official tests. They have a "cooling" effect on the digestive organs, helping to prevent digestive trouble when cows are fed all the rich concentrates they will consume. In addition, adding roots even to a palatable ration containing good corn silage seems to slightly increase the yield of milk and fat. This small in-.

The practice will rarely be economical for dairy- men in general, for the Michigan Station16 has shown that the addi- tional milk produced thereby will not pay for the roots fed. Potatoes.—A heavy allowance of potatoes produces milk of poor flavor. They may be used with success, however, when not over about 33 lbs. of cooked potatoes are fed per head daily, or somewhat less of the raw tubers. leShaw and Norton, Mich. Bui.
