The amount of liquid to feed the
young calf may be best governed by
the body weight of the calf fed. If
the calf is small. weighing so to 60
pounds, II should receive only six to

equally into the number of feelings
given. A heavier calf. weighing from

MILK ESSENTIALS AND COST
Results Of Two-Year Study on Number
of Dairy Farms in Northwest
ern Indiana.

A twO-year study of the cost of milk
production undertaken comparatively
by the United States dairy division and
Purdue university, on a number of
dairy forms in northwestern Indiana,
has resulted in figures on the require
ments for producing 100 pounds Of
milk in winter and summer. To give
permanent value to the results, these
requirements were determined in
pounds OF feed, hours of labor, etc,
and by substituting present costs and
values for various items a farmer can
determine very closely what it is cost
ing him to produce 100 pounds of milk
at the present time.
In the slmmer months the require
ments for 100 pounds of milk were as
follows: Concentrates, 20 pounds; dry
rOughage, PA pounds; silage and OH
er succulent rOughage, 60.1 pounds;
hauling and grinding concentrates,
$0014; pasture, O.04 acre; human la
Dor, % hours; horse labor, o. hour;
overhead and other costs, $0393.
In the winter months the require
ments for production were: COncen-
trates, 1856 pounds; dry rOughage. 66.S
pounds; silage and other succulent
roughage 1916 pounds; hauling and
/ grinding concentrates, $0.03; bedding,
:!0.3 pounds; human labor, % hours !;
horse labor, .03 hour; overhead and
other costs, $0.3S5.
1t has been generally believed that
the cost of producing milk was consid-
erably higher in winter than in sum-
mer; and while this holds true as Tar
as the gross cost is concerned, the hS-
ures obtained in This investigation
show that the net cost Of producing lOO
pounds of milk from November to
April was only 1.S per cent higher than
the cost from May to October, inclu,
sive, and that the total cost varied only
slightly from month TO month within
