Evaporated milk.
Usually, you buy half and half that they make at a creamery. Commercial half and half, contrary to what its name implies, is between 10.5 and 18% butterfat. To make your own, you'll need regular whole milk (3.5%) and pure cream. To make a quart of half and half, you take a pint of whole milk and mix it with a pint of cream. Voilà! Enjoy!
Whole i think!
"Half and half" is half milk and half cream. All the cream is taken from the milk and then a 1:1 ratio of fatless milk and cream are mixed. half and half has more fat than whole milk, so they are not interchangeable.

yes, in the mathematical sense. In a practical sense, perhaps not. A half dozen eggs and a half gallon of milk does not make a whole of anything. Neither does two shank halves of ham make a whole ham nor two half-sisters make one whole sister.
Yes, but you have to first mix the evaporated milk with water (half evaporated milk and half water), then add 1 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice for each cup of the diluted evaporated milk. The acidity of the vinegar or lemon juice will give results very similar to that of buttermilk. You can also use whole milk in the same way as a substitution for buttermilk, being sure to add the vinegar or lemon juice.

whole milk, or whipping cream
half and half
Evaporated milk mixed with equal parts water. Reconstituted powdered milk. Soy milk. There are probably others but it would depend on what you plan to use the milk for and why you want a substitute. If you just don't want the milk fat, use skim milk. If it's for a recipe where the milk fat is needed for the recipe to work, there might not be a substitute.
If you don't have milk, you can use non-flavored dry coffee creamer. Add the coffee creamer to the flour and then add water in the amount called for in milk in the recipe. You can also use half water, half evaporated milk.
