The use of apples for the feeding of dairy stock is not entirely new to Hawke’s Bay, several farmers in that district having obtained good results from this method of feeding. In most instances the apples are sliced before being fed out. The stock apparently enjoy the change of diet, though it is not considered desirable to give this feed too close to milking time. The conservation of apples as silage, is a novel suggestion, however, and might well be tried this season. No furtherdetails as to the method of the system carried out in America are available at the moment.
