Balancing Ration.

When one has corn, corn fodder, ensilage and clover hay, It is considered the best practice for one to procure a food rich in protein, such as bran, cotton-seed meal or linseed meal in the proportion of 6 parts bran. 8 parts cornmeal, 2 parts cot-ton-seed meal, and feeds 10 pounds of the mixture each day, with 30 pounds of ensilage and 10 pounds of clover hay, he will get very good results. Molasses is ordinarily fed by sprinkling over the hay or ensilage.—Country Gentleman.
