The sklm-milk calves we're fed un-
IN weaving on sterlllzed sklm-milt
with u grain ration composed OF equal
parts OF corn and KaAr corn, with all
the alfalfa hay they would cat, They
were fed In this way twenty-five
weeks and made an average daily
gain of one and half pounds per
calf, The feed TO raise those calves
TO weaving cost S527 per head, Az
the results show, they were IN good
condition for feeding when weaned
and the experiment shows strongly
the good feeding qualities OF the
skim-mlk calf and the prohtB that
can bo made from II, when tho calf
Is properly handled from birth to
weaving and then pushed for baby
beef, The college herd OF scrub COWS,
bought without regard to their value
for the dairy, produced In q year, at
creamery prices, milk worth s377b
per COW. The sllm-mIlk calves which
were fattOned In this experiment were
OF mixed breeding and were selected
without regard to their value for the
production Of baby beof, They
brought an average of $40 each when
marketed at about a year old
or Interest 20 Guernsey BroedorG
The American Guernsey Cattle Club
has adopted an advanced registry for
cattle of that breed" with the object
Of encouraging greater development
OF the milk capacities In tho cows
The secretary sends the Farmers Re-
view statement OF the requirements,
which are as follows;
All cows admitted must equal or
exceed one Of the following recolds'
Years Milk Record-lf record is
commenced the day the animal is two
years, or previous TO that day, she
must produce within one year from
that date 5000 lbs OF milk, For each
day the animal Is over two years old
at the beginning OF her years record
the amount OF milk she will be re-
Quired to produce In the year Will be
established by adding S.66 lbs for eY-
cry such day to the 5000 lbs required
when two years old. This ratio Is ap-
pllcable until the animal Is Ave years
old, when the required amount VIII
have reached 10000 lbs, which VIII
be the amount Of milk required OF all
cows five years old or over.
Years Butter Fat Record-lf record
Is commenced the day the animal Is
two years old, or previous to that day,
she must produce within one year
from that date 26O,5 lbs butter fat
For each day the animal Is over Two
years old at the beginning OF her
years record, the amount OF butter
fat she will DO required 10 produce
In the year will be established by add
Ing i (one-tenth) Of pound for each
such day to the 25O,j lbs. required
when two years old This ratio Is ap-
pllcablc until the animal Is five years
old, when the required amount VIII
have reached $50 lbs, which VIII be
the amount of butter fat required OF
all COWS five years or over.
Seven Days Butter Fat Record
II record is commenced the day the
animal is two years old, or previous
to that day, she must produce within
seven days from that date 10 lbs but
ter fat. For each day the animal ia
over two years old at the beginning
of her seven-day record the amount
of butter fat she will be required to
produce in the seven days will be
established by adding .OO456 (46d
hundred thousandths) OF pound for
each such day to the 10 lbs. required
when two years old This ratio is ap-
pllcable until the animal Is five years
old, when the required amount VIII
have reached 10 lbs, which will be
the amount Of butter fat required OF
all COWS five years or over.
The above yearly standards are
based upon one complete years rec
ord from the time Of beginning, re-
gardless OF the time lost by being dry
or calving during that period, should
such be the case.
The per cent Of butter fat shall be
determined by the Babcock test, For
the purpose Of estimating the amount
of butter from the amounts Of butter
fat produced, we recognize the rule
approved by the Association Of AGri-
cultural Colleges and Experiment S,a-
tions, namely, add one-slXth to The
amount OF butter fat" It should be
understood, however, that In all rec
ords made for or published in the
Advanced Register the amount OF
butter fat produced will only be
given.
