360 REporT OF THE Farm SUPERINTENDENT OF THE 
market value. No special pains were taken at any time and the 
calves were treated about as they would be on an ordinary farm, 
except that they were not exposed to inclement weather and they 
were fed some grain. In the case of Nettie and Floss it will be 
seen a fair though not large growth was made on skim milk from 
the start. The others received new milk longer and the change to 
skim milk occupied a longer time. The record of food consumed 
and cost is accurate so far as the milk, grain, silage and roots are 
concerned, but the hay is only approximately so since the calves — 
were often of necessity placed two in a single box stall and — 
enjoyed their hay in common. This could make but a small 
_ difference owing to the small amount of hay eaten, and where one 
is undercharged the mate is consequently charged as much over 
its actual consumption, so that when grouped the charges are 
corrected. 
The heifers were sold in November, 1889, because there was not 
room enough for them with the thoroughbred stock which had 
been acquired since we began to raise them. The steer was 
offered to the butcher in January, but through his delay did not 
go off until March. 
The calculation of cost has been on the following valuation of 
feeding stuffs :
