For a considerable period, but par- ticularly within the last two years, several experiments have been con- ducted at the Dominion Experimental Station, Kentville, Nova Scotia, on the utilization of apples, and various apple products, as feed for cattle, When not on pasture, it is desirable for cattle to have some. green suc- culent feed, and apples or apple pro- duéts may replace either in' whole or in part the customary use of such pro- ducts as turnips, mangels or corn en- silage. They should be cut or oliced in the regular pulper, and may be fed at about 2% pounds per day of each one hundred pounds of liveweight. When apples are stored for feeding purposes they should be allowed to mature, be- fore feeding. That is, the autumn apples should be "fed first and the winter apples later. Drop apples and culls ma ybe made into a good ensilage. They should be run through the corn cutter together with a certain amount of hay, to ab- 'sorb the-excess- juice, and packed in a silo. As a rule from 12 to 20 per cent. hay and from'80 to 88 per cent. apple makes a good mixture. - Both timothy hay and clover hay have been used satisfactorily in this manner at Kentville. In British Columbia straw has been used. It may be somewhat more acid than corn ensilage, and to remedy this, it is desirable to sprinkle in the silo, as it is being filled, ground limestone at the rate of fhree to four ounces per bushel of apples.
