For the two animals, the average daily change in live weight was 
1.48 lbs., the average cost per lb. 7.1 cts. or 296 lbs. of apparent 
gain cost atotal of 21.03 at the valuationsused. ‘The mean data for 
the two animals for the various periods, is:—

We may properly conclude from this trial:—I1st, That on milk 
feed, increase of supply of milk food diminishes the cost per lb. of 
live weight. 2d, That the individuality of the animals fed has a 
marked influence, and that the animal with the best appetite fur- 
nishes the cheapest veal when properly fed. 3rd, That economy in 
feeding requires a careful consideration of the cost of the various 
food supplies, as an increased gain through extra grain may not com- 
pensate for the increased expense. 4th, That the profit of growing 
veal depends largely upon the price assigned to the milk, one cent a 
lb. milk, when fed properly meaning about nine cent veal; when fed 
scantily 12 to 18 cent veal, or even more.
