From the Bibliotheque Physico Econemioue
thas hitherto been supposed, in most coun-
tries, that the best method of rearing calves eli
Their Tor slaughter or for the fock, is to make
them suck their mother: but it is now as
certalned, that the following is to be preferred
fut some water on the fire, nearly the quaint.
ty The calf drink When it bois. throw
into it one or two handfuls of oatmeal (qnery
corn meal as good y and suffer the whole To
boil tor minute 1t is then left to cool until il
is no warmer than new milk. Then mix with i,
one or two quarts OF milk that has stood twelve
| hours and has been skinned stir the whole
and give it to the calf to drink At first il is ne
eessary to make the calfdrink by presenting. the
myers to IT. but it soon learns to Go without this
neip, and Will crow incomparably faster than D,
the old method. This new method is not only =
theoretical truth, but its success in confirmed b;
experience.
The economical advantages that result from il
are the following. According to the old me-
thod, a calf intended for slaughter is made tc
suck tor three weeks, and those intended for a.
grculture from SIX to eight weeks s,inposina
the COW gives only moderate quantity of milk
the value oft Will amount in three weeks to near
ly the value ola calf. If, on tie contrary, W,
rear calf according to this new method, We
, consume during the three weeks only thre,
quarts OF oatmeal, at most, and the SKINNED
milk.
M Schnee adds, that he has practised tlli,
method himself; and that his calves have beer
always as healthy and strong as his neighbors
and not subject to disease. The only alteration
he makes in it is, that he does not suffer calves t.
suck at all, but gives them the pure milk of the
mother to drink for the first four DAYS because
he has observed, that the separation after foul
days is more painful to the mother than when the
calf is taken from her after its birth. He
makes no exception, only when the COW calye,
tor the first time, because he thinks he has OBJ
served that IN this case the lacteal vessels oper
more, and the cows are more easily MIXED. i
4 the calf is allowed to suck for few DAYS
