Buying Calves or Heifers 
On page 1208, V. W. B. of (Vnneeti- 
cut has a letter answeiod by I’rof. Mink- 
ler. I wish lo arid m.v answer and tell 
V. TV. I’, not lo buy calves, hut rather 
buy producing cows. The reason is very 
plain. A calf will cost al producing age 
as much as a good producing heifer. I 
am not saying this without having had 
some experience in this line of work. My 
son and daughter joined a calf club. The 
hoys calf was 14 months, one week and 
two days old: weight. 420 lhs.: cost, 
$J25„ This was on May IN. 1021. It 
cost him as follows, before she freshened 
February 10, 1022: 1,500 lhs. grain. 
$147.0.1; silage. 4,240 !bs.. $20.40; bay, 
14110 lbs.. $21.11; molasses. 10 gallons, 
$5.40. Yon will notice no mention is 
made for pasture. Mr. Ileald allowed 
pasture for manure. However, I know 
what the pasture would have cost, as lie 
has hired pasture for a heifer this sea¬ 
son, namely. $12.50. making his heifer 
eost_ him at producing rime $00.50, plus 
$12o, a total of $224.59. enough to buy 
a very good registered heifer about to 
produce. 
The daughter's calf was younger, be¬ 
ing six months. 1$ days of age ; weighed 
2S7 ll>s.; cost $150. Record started May 
IS. 1021, running one year, as follows': 
20(1 <|ts. skim-milk, $2.00: 71 lhs. grain, 
$1.4.N: 150 lhs. hay. $2.25; 270 lbs. grain. 
$5.52; 200 lhs. hay, $;:; 507 lhs. grain. 
$11.94; 1,303 lhs. hav, $20,80; 2,000 lhs. 
silage, 80: 25 gallons molasses, $4.50; 
total, $01.51. This, plus first cost, is 
$211.54. This heifer is nor iimillieim*

Sweet Clover and Milk Taste 
In answer In :i question concerning the 
effect of feeding .Sweet clover upon the 
taste of milk, several years ago I planted 
six acres of rather poor land to rye and 
vetch, to he fed green in June. A very 
light stand induced me to broadcast lY. 
bu. of scarified Sweet clover seed over 
the rye the following February. The 
clover seed came well, and contrary to 
my expectation, made a strong growth. 
After cutting the rye the vetch came on 
strong, and by the first of August I began 
to use this stand of Sweet clover and 
vetch as supplementary pasture. 
After each milking, my herd of 20 Jer¬ 
seys was turned into the Sweet clover for 
about one-half hour. The first few days 
they avoided the clover. In a week or 
two they came to eat it freely and finally 
to prefer it. The milk from these cows 
was aerated and bottled immediately. T 
found that when a bottle of (he night’s 
milk which had been kept in the cooler 
was opened it exhibited a pronounced 
odor of the Sweet clover. This was not 
as pleasant as the fragrance of the blos¬ 
soms outdoors. Further examination 
showed that the odor was confined to the 
cream, and would soon he dissipated ou 
exposure to the air. The cream had no 
taste, bur naturally the effluvia entering 
the nose would be attributed to the taste 
of tlie cream. 
No complaints were received from cus¬ 
tomers. many of whom used it for drink¬ 
ing. Ilad the flavor been objectionable 1 
should surely have heard from them.

Fattening Tu.-keys 
I have bought turkeys. May hutched, 
which weigh now 12 lhs., but wish to 
have them heavier. What can I feed 
them to get them in good selling condi¬ 
tion for Thanksgiving? k, k. t. 
New Jersey. 
Corn, wheat and buckwheat are or¬ 
dinarily fed turkeys when fattening them 
for market and when they are permitted 
the usual range. A ground mush of corn 
meal and ground oats may also lie fed 
during the last few weeks, if desired, 
feeding this at noon in addition to their 
morning and night ration of whole grain. 
The mash is best moistened with skim- 
milk. and should he fed only in what 
quantity the birds will quickly clean up 
at n feeding. Probably the greater part 
of farm flocks receive only whole grain 
for fattening, corn and buckwheat being 
chiefly used, but the grain is fed in great¬ 
er quantity ns the market season ap¬ 
proaches, and the birds are, consequently, 
less inclined to roam far afield and use 
up their acquired fat in searching for 
food. M. U. !>.
