CALVES GROWN ON SKIM MILK
Cost ls Less Than Where Whole MIX
Is Fed-Animals Make Better
Gains In the Feed Lot.

The cost Of growing calves on skim
milk was less than where whole milk
was fed, or where the calves ran with
their dams, and the skim-milk calves
made better gains when put into the
feed lot than the others did, accord
ing to some experimental work at the
Kansas station.
It cost 1925 per 100 pounds gain on
the calves fed on skim milk, $3.50 per
100 pounds gain on whole milk, and
SAL per 100 pounds gain where the
calves ran with their dams. When
these same calves were put into the
feed lot the skim-milk calves made the
fastest gains and the whole-milk calves
next.

KEEP CORRECT MILK RECORDS
Note Production Of Each Individual
Cow and Save Heifer Calves
From Large Producers.

You cannot always buy good cows,
but another way to get good herd
together is by keeping records Of the
production of each individual cow in
your herd and saving the heifer calves
from the larger producers. These
calves being from good registered
sire and from selected cows, it will
not take many years to build up a
first-class herd. You can only know
your best cows by continuous weigh
ing and testing Of the milk, and keep
Ing records of each individual, so that
some information may be secured as
to the cost of production, which is
growing more important as the prices
Of feed stuffs and labor advance.

AND BUTTERFAT FEEDS
Utilize Every Possible MorseI of Food
Teeth and Stomach Wear Out
First In. Cow.

Every possible morsel of food fed to
dairy cows should be utilized for the
production of milk and butterfat. The
teeth and the stomach are the two
organs of cow which wear out first,
especially the former. This Is caused
in great part by the COW having to eat
hard dry unground grain. There Is an
old saying, mo chain is stronger than
It's weakest link" With the dairy COW
also this holds true. When one organ
of digestion wears out, then the whole
COW Is useless.

long as possible, and if she is properly
fed and cared for, she will be useful
for about fifteen years. Some give

Red Wing Reaches Town Late After a Rather Difficult Trip from
