Apple Pomace for Cows
Dried apple pomace, when com-
pared with dried beet pulp and corn
silage at the Virginia experiment
station, showed that one ton of pom-
ace was about equal to three tons of
corn silage and that one ton of beet
pulp was about equal to four tons of
corn silage. The pomace was highly
relished by the cows and was an excels

pomace was 75 per cent of that of
dried beet pulp and that the present
