Results. 



The grade Holstein received, during the fii'st part of the trial, 47 pounds 

 of Schumacher's Calf Meal, and after that the station calf meal. It 

 scoured badly when young, and hence did not make very satisfactory 

 gains. The grade Ayrshire was not affected at all with scours and came 

 along nicely. These calves received 5 quarts of skim milk and as high as 

 1 pound of calf meal as gruel daily. The calf meal was considered fairly

 glucose sugar is not on the market as a food for stock; it was procured 

 tlirough the Corn Products Refining Company of New York.
