important Relation Shown Between
Milk Secretion and Certain
Mineral Substances.

Experiments conducted by the bu-
reau of animal industry, United States
department of agriculture, with dairy
cows are showing an important rela-
ton between milk secretion and GER

pounds of phosphorus and calcium
have resulted in a decidedly beneficial
effect on the milk flow in both guam

1t has been shown also that de

INGREDIENTS OF CALF MEAL
Some of Most Commonly Used Mate
rails Are cornmeaI, Middlings,
Wheat Flour, Etc.

A calf meal, in order to give success,
should be made up of ingredients that
are easily digested and that are not
too expensive. A few of the most
commonly used materials are: fine
cornmeal, flour middlings, wheat flour
(poor grade), ground rice, oat flakes,
barley malt, cocoanut meal, 1inseei
meal, fiaxseed meal, cottonseed meal,
blood flour, blood meal and dried skim
milk or skimmilk powder. Skimmilk
powder is not absolutely essential and
it is rather expensive, but many of the
calf meals that have given the best
results have contained considerable
amounts of it.
