TABLE XI. DETAILED STATISTICS OF CALVES, 1908-1909 

 Lot D. Fed skimmed milk, hay and grain 



Lot E. Fed skimmed milk powder, hay and grain 



The commercial foods 



The skimmed milk powder was purchased from the Merrill-Soule 

 Company of Syracuse, N. Y. The manufacturers claim for this product 

 that it is simply ordinary skimmed milk dried by a patented secret 

 process to a powder as fine as wheat flour. The grade used by this Station 

 in this experiment was the third grade product and was purchased 

 f. o. b. at the factory for two cents per pound. The manufacturers 

 inform us that through an improvement in the process this grade is 

 no longer made except in very small quantities.
