PROMISING HOLSTEIN YOUNGSTER. 
The cut at Fig. 74 shows the young 
Holstein bull Clothilde DeKol Dot’s 
Butter Boy, owned by Madison Cooper, 
of Watertown, N. Y. The sire of this 
bull was Nannette Pledge Butter Boy, 
whose six nearest dams on official test 
have averaged 23 pounds, 13 ounces of 
butter for the week, 4.Q6 butter fat. The 
CLOTIIILDE, DE KOL DOT’S BUTTER 
BOY. Fig. 74. 
dam of Clothilde DeKol Dot’s Butter 
Boy has an official record of 58 pounds, 
13 ounces milk in one day, and 12.78 
pounds of butter in seven days as a two- 
year-old with first calf. She gave 72 
pounds, 8 ounces milk in one day when 
seven years old. The Nannette, Pledge, 
Butter Boy, DeKol, Clothilde and 
Aaggie strains are well represented in 
the pedigree of this young bull. 
ECONOMICAL CALF FEEDING FOR VEAL 
Considerable interest is being mani¬ 
fested in northern Pennsylvania in the 
subject of economical feeding of skim- 
milk to young calves for veal purposes. 
No clearly defined course seems to this 
time to have been outlined by the bulle¬ 
tins from any of the State experiment 
stations. What is the best method of 
supply the carbohydrates taken from 
the milk of the cow by the separator, is 
the inquiry heard among progressive 
farmers and dairymen. I wrote to the 
Pennsylvania State Experiment Station 
and was informed that no bulletin on 
the subject had issued from that sta¬ 
tion, and I was referred to the Kansas 
Experiment Station. I wrote there for 
their bulletin on the subject, but was in¬ 
formed that it was out of print and, 
what was more important, I found that 
they had never entered upon a sys¬ 
tematic test of the matter. I was in¬ 
formed that they had tried feeding 
whole corn to calves with very favorable 
results, but that veal was not the main 
purpose of the feeding. It followed that 
information from that source was not 
satisfactory, or at least not sufficiently 
definite upon which to fix a reliable 
theory founded on thoroughly tested 
methods. 
There are many in this section who 
have been very successful in raising 
good veal calves on cornmeal thoroughly 
scalded and mixed with the separated 
skim-milk, fed with the animal heat still 
in it. Others have used wheat mid¬ 
dlings, partially cooked, with good re¬ 
sults. Some have fed the clear skim- 
milk from the separator, and raised very 
fine veal calves that, for veal purposes, 
sold for $20 each at 12 weeks old. The 
following have been recommended for 
the purpose: Cornmeal, 10 pounds; 
wheat flour, 10 pounds; oil cake meal, 10 
pounds; wheat middlings, 12 pounds. 
Cook to a porridge, and feed with the 
skim-milk, beginning with less than one- 
half gill and increase as effect on calf 
justifies. These serve a good purpose, but 
do not settle the question as to what is 
best. Readers of The R. N.-Y. would be 
glad to hear from persons who have had 
experience in fattening calves by use of 
some cheaper feed to take the place of 
the butter fat removed by the separator. 
Intelligent feeding of skim-milk in this 
way, instead of allowing the calf to 
run with the cow for four or six weeks, 
or in feeding the new milk fresh from 
the cow, makes some $10 per annum dif¬ 
ference in the income of each cow; in 
a herd of 20 cows a difference of fully 
$200. A near 'neighbor of mine last 
season raised 13 calves on the skim-milk 
of seven cows, and besides raised two 
hogs from the same cows. He fed corn¬ 
meal party cooked with the skim-milk. 
He was offered $10 each for the calves 
at two months old, by veal calf buyers. 
I saw these calves (now 10 months old) 
a few days since. They are 13 as fine 
calves as there are in the township; $130 
from the skim-milk of seven cows in 
six weeks is a record worth considering. 
This in addition to the milk fed to the 
pig. We want more light on feeding of 
skim-milk. ‘Who can give it to us?
