Calves thus reared and sold at a year old at the local spring 
sales of store cattle, easily fetched £8 5s. each, thus paying 
the market price for home-grown produce eaten, 6d. a gallon 
for the new milk, and td. per gallon for the separated milk 
consumed, and leaving something over £2 for first value of 
the calf. The manure produced is taken as a set-off against 
the value of attendance and litter. 
CoD-LIVER OIL FOR CALVES. 
‘Experiments have been carried out, under the direction of 
the Agricultural Department of the Yorkshire College, at 
the Manor Farm, Garforth, to determine the value of cod-liver 
oil as a substitute for milk fat and for meal in rearing calves. 
Fifteen young calves were purchased on May 16th, 1899. 
From that date to June 7th they all received new milk, at first 
four times a day, and later three times a day, the total quantity 
given being increased from 1 to 14 gallons. On June 17th they 
were weighed and divided into three lotsof fiveeach. Lot I. 
continued to receive 14 gallons of new milk per head daily. 
Part of the new milk supplied to Lot II. was then replaced 
by separated milk and about } oz. of cod-liver oil; while 
in the case of Lot III. part of the new milk was replaced 
by separated milk and a small quantity of meal, composed of 
two parts linseed meal, one part oatmeal, one part rice 
meal, and one part locust bean meal, all ground as fine as 
possible, and passed though a sieve. From June roth the 
three lots were fed twice a day instead of three 
times, but still continued to receive the same quantities of
