1100T9 AGAINST (:RAIN IN .111L10
1'ItODI'CTIOY.
61' Without proem, Professor or
Agriculture.
We have made tests with roots
against grain for mills production
within the last five years, but never
eo thoroughly as during rho past
winter. Our objects woro, (1) the
cheaper production of winter mills,
(2) to get mitis equal at least to the
average Ontario summer records,
(8) the use of a largo quantity of
roots without tasting, and (4) to
maintain milk flow and oondltion of
cow's without grain.
Tho plan adopted was to feed one
week on each ration previo0s to ex-
act testing during rho second week
and thus changing ovary two weeks
through March and April. Ordin-
ary shorthorn grades worn handled,
milking twice a day. What arc the
facts so fain 2
The root ration daily consisted of
12 lb. cut hay, timothy and clover
83 lb. maugolde, 85 Ib. Swede 401
Lips and 15 Ib. white Belgian car-
rots, all sliced and mixed with the
hay. Thu gram motion was 12 Ib
of similar cut hay, 7 lb. oats, 7 Ib.
pease, and 7 ib. barley, all ground
and mixed dry with the hay. Feed
ing at 6 a.m., 11:80 am. and 5:80
p.m.
The nutritive ratio of the root
diet io 1:7.4, and of the grain 1:5,4,
thus 27 per cent. higher for the
grain ration.
Tho daily mills per head from
roots averaged 20.0 lb. over the
whole period, and 22; lb. from
grain.
The daily cost of food per head
Was 19k cents for the root and 81
emits for the grain ration, thus be-
ing 9k mills for the one and 18.9
mills for the other per poun(1 on the
mills produced, or 91; cents and 14
cents per gallon rospootively,eharg-
ing the average prices of tiro prov-
ince during the last twelve years.
On roots tho animal weight was
redacted 14 Ib., and on the grain 12i
lb. over the period-praotiealiy
nothing in the scaling of oows ; nor
had We t'o credit any left food after
each fending ; neither was milk
spoiled by root taste,
Now, what are the practical and
scientific deductions from 111050
simplo facto 2
1, That 81 lb. of a misturo of
roots, an unusually largo quantity
per head per day, with 12 lb. hay
gave almost as much milk as olid
the uuusually largo quantity of 21
Ib. of a ]nix11110 of grain and 12 lb.
hay.
2. That this
result was aoeomp•
lisped -(1) Without spoiling tho
mills, (2) without reducing animal
woight, (8) at 80 per cont, loss cost,
and (4) oven though rho root ration
was scientifical
in nutritivo va
l
ly 8"c per cont. lower
hue.
3. Thus, food of a Succulent char
motor, four times mom bulky and
mt1Cn less value proportionately than
dry grain, domands a very high
place 114 winter dairying.
4. The root ration was pitted
against an unuoually largo quanti-
ty of grain, enough to fatten two
store smile, which also reprosonts
with hay the acknowledged saion-
tific and practical standard (1;5.4)
of a ration for [lye best results fn

times. But, oven tllottgh tho roots
