pared, and we see by com-

 VIII, and IX, that the calves 

 fed skimmed milk made the

 for approximately the first 

 120 days after birth, and it 

 is not necessary to make 

 extra tables for those lots. 



Detailed record of Lot B 

 In Lot 1j, calves No. 6, 8, 

 9, 10 and II were fed whole 

 milk from birth up to the 

 beginning of the experiment, 

 the amount of milk varying 

 with the age of the calf. 

 Some Schumacher Calf Meal 

 was also fed before Nov. 12, 

 1907, so they were all some- 

 what accustomed to it. Calf 

 No. 13 was fed from birth 

 exactly in accordance with 

 the directions which came 

 with the meal. After Nov. 

 12, all the calves in this lot 

 were fed as nearly as possible 

 in accordance with the direc- 

 tions, except when the meal 

 was refused or it seemed 

 advisable from the standpoint 

 of health to feed them other- 

 wise. 



The directions for feeding 

 the Schumacher Calf Meal are 

 as follows : Let the calf run 

 with the cow or feed him 

 whole milk until seven to ten 

 days old, then begin using 

 about two tablespoonsful of 

 meal to a pint of boiling
