an hour, or two the first day, and the time
increased.
(3) The time called for to effect the change should never be less than
one week or more than three.
(4) As soon as the change begins, the reduction in succulent food,
ensilage, and field roots should also begin.
(5) The dry fodder should be continued morning and evening as long as
the cows will take it.

(6) There should be some reduction and it may be modification in the
grain for a short time.
After turning out a full supply may be necessary. Should the pasture be
composed mainly of grasses, food rich in protein, as wheat bran, should
be fed, but if it is composed mainly of clover, then more carbonaceous
grain, as corn, should be fed.
When pasture is succulent and abundant, it is a disputed point as to
whether it will pay to feed meal of any kind in addition. The following
conclusion in regard to this question would seem safe:
When cows are fed grain on pastures succulent and abundant, the tendency
is to increase the yield in the milk and also to increase flesh.
The quality of the milk is not materially influenced.

Pratts Cow Remedy was fed to the cow from the receipt of Remedy
until the calf was eight weeks old and the calf weighed 234 pounds
and was acknowledged unanimously to be the nicest calf that was
ever shipped from this depot.

Some saving is effected in the grazing, and the resultant fertilizer
from the grain fed has a tangible value. It is certain, therefore, that
full value will be obtained for a small grain ration thus fed.
