entirely. The amount of calf meal fed per day varied from a tablespoonful 

 in the beginning with the whole milk, up to two and one-fourth pounds 

 per day. The amount of calf meal varied with the age and size of the 

 calf. 



The use of Blatchford's Calf Meal did not bring very satisfactory 

 results. In Table IX it is seen that the weights reached at the end of 

 five months varied from 170 pounds to 228 pounds. The cost of raising 

 a calf with Blatchford's Calf Meal up to five months of age was $16.83 

 to $18.39. While these weights are fairly good, yet they are the lowest 

 made in 1908-9, and the cost is too high for the meal to be used eco- 

 nomically.
