Two had dropped their last calves one month before the beginning of the observation, one five months and two from eleven to twelve months. The}^ differed but one yeai- in their respective ages, which was from six to seven years. English hay, roweu, fodder corn, corn stover, corn ensilage, carrots and sugar beets furnished at different times the main bulk of the daily fodder ration ; while corn meal, wheat bran, and both kinds of linseed meal alternately served as supplementary feed stuffs tosecure a desired high nutritive character to the entire diet. The daily quantity of the grain feed, of roots and of hay, in case corn ensilage furnished largely the coarse feed, was in each case a definite one, decided upon before ; it was in each case entirely consumed. The daily consump- tion of the coarse portion of the particular fodder combination on trial, as hay, when fed alone, rowen, fodder corn, corn stover, and corn ensilage, depended on the appetite of each individual animal. It varied usually somewhat in quantity in case of different cows. Care was taken to offer to each a liberal quantity. The uncousumed portion was weighed back each day and subsequently accounted for in the daily feeding record. The fodder corn, corn ensilage and corn stov
