silage-fed COWS, but such flavor is
rarely as marked as that of COWS
freshly turned to grass in spring tim Q.
With over 100 600 silos in use by
dairymen of this country, thousands

Questions and Answers.
COST TO RAISE HEIFER.

Question: Will you please send me
the facts, statistics and figures about
the following: The cost of raising
calf the first six weeks of it's life.
The cost of feeding heifer the first
year. J. L. M, Palouse, Wash.
Answer: According to the United
States Department of Agriculture
bulletin No. 40, the cost OF feeding
calf up to six weeks of age is about
$3.50. This is calculated on the basis
Of feeding whole milk largely, and rep
resents a fair average since all calves
must have whole milk the first few
weeks Of their lives. Ii, however,
you have a calf that Is particularly
vigorous and strong the change from
whole to skimmilk may be made at
about three weeks of age, in which
case the relative cost would be much
lower. To feed the heifer one year
from the time of birth it costs about
S25. This also varies with the price
of feeds in different localities. With
the conditions that we have in Whit
man county we find that it costs to
raise heifer the first year $5.13 for
whole milk. 1871 for skimmilk, $3. 43
for hay. II cents for silage, $6. "a for
grain, and 81. 90 for pasture. This is
assuming that the animal gets 342
pounds of whole milk at $1.50 per
hundred, 3165 pounds of skimmilk at
% cents hundred, 857 pounds of
hay at So. 90 per ton, 1853 pounds of
corn silage at $500 per ton, 547
pounds of grain at S25 a ton, and is
out on pasture 123 days at so cents
per month.
BITTER MILK.

gets cream on it it has mean faint.
