Roughly speak- ing, to ten pounds of any of these rough feeds two pounds of linseed oil meal or gluten meal should be used. In the various experiment stations this question of supplying proteine has been very thorsughly studied, and the concensus of opinion at this time is that proteine Is a very important part of the ration.
