Abstract
The object of this Bulletin is to give and discuss the results of experiments, herein detailed, in regard to the system, prevalent here, "of keeping cattle on hay and other coarse foods during the winter, then feeding grain for a few weeks in the spring just previous to selling. All over the inter-mountain region very little grain is fed, and what little is used is fed with the idea that an animal which has been kept poorly can be filled up with profit in a very short period, just before selling. The idea was to test these questions, and to find out, if possible, the cheapest and the best coarse food, and to get at the value of straw by feeding it in different combinations against mixed hay.
