Milk Substitutes for Calves 



By J. B. Lindsey and J. G. Archibald 



The production of milk for near-by consumption is the principal 

 industry of Massachusetts dairymen. The maintaining of the herd is an 

 ever-present problem. Some farmers prefer to purchase mature milkers 

 and others to rear calves from their own cows. This Station has been 

 studying the most economical and satisfactory method of growing the 

 calf until four months of age, and presents the results of its findings in 

 this bulletin.
