Lot G, Table XVI. In feeding Blatchford's Calf Meal, the gruel 

 was made as follows : The meal was mixed with a little cold water to 

 avoid lumps, then enough hot water was added to make sufficient gruel 

 for the number of feeds required. The gruel was set aside until cool. 

 If too cold at time of feeding, it was warmed again to 90° to 100*^ F. 

 When the meal was first fed to the young calf, a tablespoonful of the 

 meal was mixed into gruel in this way and added to the whole milk. 

 The whole milk was then gradually reduced until the calf took the 

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

 a tablespoonful in the beginning with tlie 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. \
