128 AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. [Jan. 



Tlie above analysis of artificial milk represents one ounce 

 of " oleo " to each quart of skim-milk. Scarcely any of the 

 calves appeared to be able to take more than this amount per 

 quart without disturbing their digestion. When one and a 

 half ounces per quart were fed indigestion nearly always 

 resulted, and the manure voided contained an excessive 

 amount of fat, fatty acids and similar substances. During 

 the last few weeks of the calf's life one and a quarter ounces 

 were fed for each quart of the skim-milk. 



Other Oils substituted. 



Only one-half ounce of either cotton-seed or corn oil 

 could be fed per quart of milk without producing bad effects. 

 One calf was fed with one-half ounce of "oleo " and one-half 

 ounce of cotton-seed oil per quart of milk. Another was fed 

 with one-half ounce of ' ' oleo " and two ounces of brown sugar 

 per quart of skim-milk. 



Following; comes the financial record of the seven calves.

 cotton-seed and corn oils, and one skim-milk, "oleo" and
