ration was 1.1 0z., and the average daily gain of live weight per 
peund of milk fed in the 17.7 lb. ration was 1.8 0z., while for the 
whole period the average daily gain of live weight per pound of milk 
fed in the 15.8 lb. ration was 1.6 ozs. 
The conclusion, therefore, seems justifiable that it is impossible to 
express the ratio between a pound of milk fed and the increase in 
growth of the calf, as so much depends upon the quantity fed, and 
the condition of the animal. We can ascertain, however, the rela- 
tion between the amount fed and the apparent gain in any given 
case, and in the present trial the maximum gain for the two calves 
was about one pound of live weight to eight and eight-tenths lbs. of 
sweet milk fed during the last twelve days. 
On August 1, a mixture of grain was commenced to be fed, in ad- 
dition to the milk, and on Sept. 6 the milk was omitted. The daily 
live weights, and the daily amounts fed are shown in the appended 
table :
