DILUTED fiLK FOR CALVES. ‘Result of Experiments Carried on at % . Storrs Colleg: At the Storrs Experiment Station, 4 serles of experiments in the feeding of young calves were carried on under the direction of Professor G. C. White. There were two main - points in mind in_these experiments: 1. The feeding of silage;' this, if satisfactory with .very young calyes could be used to replace more_expensive grain and hay. The diluting of whole milk with watel. before feeding; -this, if practical, would reduce the amount, of whole milk necessary to be Ted in sections where skim milk is not available; the low- ered food value of the diluted milk was brought up by proper grain mixtures. Ten groups of calves were used in the experiments, each group including two to four calyes. The groups were fed as similarly as possible, except for variations called for by the ex- periment. - The calves were started as sqon after birth as possible. Whole milk was fed to two weeks of age and then skim or diluted milk was grad- ually substituted. Fourteen pounds of warm liquid was the limit fed. Grain, hay and silage Wwhen given were started at two or three weeks of age. The order of feeding was liquid, grain, silage and lay, weighed amounts of each being given. The costs of the fooq eaten could thus be calculated, using the same prices for all groups. The calves were fed to six months of age. The general care, as well as the feeding, was similar for all groups; all were kept in the same barn and similar pens. It wes found in the feeding of these similar groups that silage could be fed to calves, even when they are very young. The calves would begin eat- g it when only a few weeks of age, and soon developed quite a liking for it. The experimental groups showed that while silage could not entirely re- place the grain and hay it could re- place quite a bit of it: with one zroup silage replaced one-third of the |grain and two-thirds of the hay. However, silage should be fed with | caution during the first two or three months; after that time, it will seldom give trouble. The following limits can be given as a guide to the amount to be fed at,different ages: 1 to 2 pounds up to twb months, 2 to 3 pounds during the third month. 3 to 5 pounds month. 1 5 to 7 pounds during the fifth month. 7 pounds during the sixth such as ' potatoes, corn and’ . grains in addition’ to- their regular to- ‘bagco erop, but a . will leave according to custom.. contribution to the food production program as it means an actual/loss-in receipts to the tobacco grower from, a decreased acreage -of their _standard crop. The greatest increase will be' in field -corn, but spring wheat, barley, rye and other grains will be increased in acreage also. The interest shown in planting spring wheat is the most en- couraging sign qf the practical re- sponse of the farmers to the appeal of the food administrition, Many of | them are doubtful about raising wheat ‘here, but they sre willlng to take a chance with a few acres. They realize that wheat is the' Sreatest factor in winning the war and, @whether they make’ any profit on it or not, they will make their patriotic contribution in this way. 'Corn and other common grains they know all about and will plant more and care for it better than ever be- fore. The prospects for an increased potato crop in the county are good and it is apparent that the county will come nearer to growing all the pota- toes it will eat next winter than it has in years. The farmers are more will- ing to undertake the larger acreages of grains as grain demands less hand labor than other food crops and labor is one of the big problems.this year.

Milk was diluted as much as one part milk to three parts water and fed with a grain mixture consisting of: 1% parts hominy. 132 parts ground oats. % parts red dog flour. iz parts blood meal. { These, along with hay, zave satisfactory results when fed to the calves. When silage also'was added to this ration, everr better gains were made and at a less cost.
