Q. Do they digest it? 



A. Yes, sir. 



Q. Do young calvesi handle that corn different from a feeding steer? 



A. Yes, sir. 



Q. Anything else? Oil meal? 



A. Sometimes, but I depend on dry shredded corn. My calves were 

 sold and fetched good prices. 



Q. How long did you continue feeding this milk? 



A. Along until grass comes and ready to turn them out; then I give 

 the milk to the pigs. 



Q. Mr. Gurler: You speak of the ground flaxseed; you don't com- 

 pound that with oil meal ? 



A. No, sir. 



Q. The flax meal ground? 



A. Yes, sir. 



Q. How long do you continue the use of that flax meal? 



A. As long asi I feed milk. It is only a spoonful. 



Q. You don't discard that when you use grain? 



A. No, sir, the teaspoonful of flax seed meal is added to it. 



Mr. Aucutt: Q. Do you prepare this flax seed meal? 



A. No, sir. 



Mr. Crosier: : Would you recommend feeding the siame to Jerseys or 

 Holsteins? 



A. I do not know. 



Q. I should think in feeding so much corn meal, especially to dairy 

 •calves, that the heifers would tend to lay on too much fat? 



A. I have not gone into thos e thing. I am milking Short Horns. 



Mr. Monrad: Q. What is your average yield? 



A. I have no figures. I take what is handed out to me and am 

 thankful for it. I never kicked but once and that was the last month and 

 my average was below the averag e, and that made me feel badly. I don't 

 think that has occurred over three times before. 



Q. If you sold all your milk, what would you do about your calves?
