There may he in some instances a prospective return, as when animals are wintered on cheap fare that they may make increase on cheap pastures the following season. It is greatly important, therefore, that as a rule, growing animals should have enough of suitahle food during the maturing period to enable them to make a maximum increase in weight, without forced feeding. To attain the highest possible increase in weight, as with animals that are forced for exhibition, it may be necessary to feed foods that will unduly increase the cost of production to admit of any profit accruing. And it is equally important that a matured animal should receive food enough at all times to enable it to give a maximum return without forced feeding. If the highest possible production in milk is to be obtained from a cow for a limited period, forced feeding must be resorted to which will unduly increase the cost of production. Relative Importance of a Free Nutrition.--What may be termed a free nutrition, that is a liberal nutrition, is more important relatively for improved animals than for those inured to what may be termed a scant fare, that is, an insufficient fare. The reasons for this are, that the inherited qualities of digestion and assimilation in the former call for full supplies of food, whereas, with those inured to a scant fare the digestive habit of the system is not seriously interfered with when food supplies are short. In other words the former suffers more than the latter when food supplies are insufficient for any prolonged period. And the degree of the ill-doing that follows will be proportionate to the extent to which they have inherited the high capacity for pr...
