One half of the feed cost the first
year and n third for the full two
years is for whole and skinned milk
By far the most expensive period in
the life Of the calf is the first four
weeks the cost being nearly double
that or any other four week period.
This high cost is occasioned by its be-
ing dependent almost entirely upon
whole milk.
The man labor required in raising a
heifer is about 40 hours during the
first year and % hours the second
vear. The total cost Of man and horse
labor for two years is close to So. The
manure produced during the two years
has been valued at So; consequently
the cost Of labor is practically Offset
by the value Of the manure.
The item "other costs'' consist of
expenses usually overlooked in estim,
ating costs. These are interest, charge
for the use of building and equipment
expense for bedding, miscellaneous ex-
penses a share of the general expense
for the entire farm busiuss, and a
charge to cover losses by death and
d%iscarding. The total or these forms
nearly one-ffth of the total cost Of the
Q year old heifer.
The foregoing figures show that it
costs more to raise calves to maturity
than is commonly supposed, and they
support the advice which the depart
ment is continually trying to impress
upon dairy farmers, that it does moi
pay to raise any but the best heifers
Raising scrub heifers and selling them
at $25 to $40 apiece, as many do, il
Improbable except on cheap land o,
under other very favorable conditions
But it does pay to raise the best heif
ers for in good dairy sections well
bred heifers are worth considerably
more than $50 when 2 years Of age,
Furthermore, dairy farmers as . ruiz
are obliged to raise their own stock
as it is difficult to buy productive
cows at a reasonable price. In som,
sections Of the West where alfalfa i
worth only 81 to S. a ton, or in tn
Southwest, where pastures furnish fet
the greater part Of the year, this COS
may be greatly reduced. Even wher'
it costs 800 to raise q heifer, tw'

According to investigators in the
department, the average net cost of
raising 9. dairy heifer l year old on
a Wisconsin farm is $50 so and of a 2
year old heifer SOL Al. These figures
are applicable to other dairy districts
in the North and East where land and
feed values are similar to those in
Wisconsin. They are based on data
obtained from raising lit calves from
birth to the time that they enter the
dairy herd.
There are in the United States over
21,00o,O00 dairy cows. These figures
give some idea Of the importance of
this economic problem to the country
as a whole, for these ows must lie
replaced every few years. The cost
of the production Of these heifers is a
large item in keeping down the pro
fits of the dairymen.
Bulletin No. 40, "The Cost of Rails
ing a Dairy Cow" contains numer.
Gus tables and several illustrations of
the Jersey calves from which the
items Of cost were obtained.
The most important item was the
cost of the food, which was estimated
at market value and amounted to neal
ly two-thirds Of the total net cost Of
the heifer, while labor formed ~ IL
per cent of the cost.
Figures for the average net cost OF
the l year old heifer are as follows:
Feed 1924 81
Labor 4.4s
Other costs 6.3t
Devils Lake world. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1914-1915, 1914-04-17

Total costs 1914
To this should be added the initial
value of the calf, which was estimat-
ed to be $7.04, making a total cost
at the end Of one year of $42.52. This
charge is justified in view of the fact
that dairy cows are credited with this
item in determining the cost of milk
production. By allowing So credit for
manure, it leaves a net cost Of 1882
at the end Of the first year.
