Number of Requisites of success in Dairying
Thomas M. Olsen, dairy instructor at South Dakota State College, says the single key to success is knowing your cows. He notes that heavy feeding or pure bred stock alone do not guarantee results, and expensive barns are not essential. The dairy cow’s individuality and understanding her needs drive production more than pedigree or equipment.

Powdered Milk Boosts Calf Rearing in Dairying
Dairymen at Ithaca report powdered skim milk and powdered buttermilk aid in raising strong calves cheaply. For six months, calves need about 75 pounds skim milk powder plus 150 pounds whole milk, 400 pounds alfalfa hay, and 400 pounds grain, mixed with water at 90 to 100 degrees. With powdered buttermilk, 130 pounds whale milk, 63 pounds dried buttermilk, 460 pounds grain, and 450 pounds alfalfa yield a healthy six month calf. Powdered products are convenient and sanitary, about half the cost of whole milk though pricier than skim milk.
