EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS

The test began on the fourteenth of April. Up to the middle of 

 May the calves had nothing but separator skim milk, as they refused 

 to eat either hay or grain. The amounts of the latter eaten thereafter 

 are given in the tables. After June 24, the Holstein calf had whole milk 

 instead of skim milk.
