FARMERS COLUMN,


A Wisconsin dairyman asks il there can
be any profit In raising calves in winter, or
late fall calves9 This question is now very
pertinent, since winter dairying is becoming
common. Butter bears a higher price in
winter and this induces dairymen to have
their calves dropped in the fall. Let us ex-
anime the expense account. Some think
the cold weather will add much to the cost
of keeping the calves but this is probably
a mistake, as the following consideration
will show The milk, after making butter
in winter, is in better condition than in
summer, as it is seldom sour, and may al
ways be fed sweet. Calves kept in warm
quarters will make more growth upon the
same quantity Of milk in winter than in
summer, on account of its better quality and
because, being fed on hay they seldom scour
or have any trouble OF stomach.
We have tested the comparative gain on
the same quantity Of milk fed to calves in
winter and summer, Six calyes, fed through
January, February, and March, on an aver
age of 25 pounds of skin-milk each per day,
starting with an average weight Of so pounds
made an average weight, on the lst day o
April, of 3O4 pounds, or gain of q pounds
per day. They had besides the milk, what
rowen hay they would eat.
In feeding ten calves for four months, be-
ginning May lst, starting with an average
weight of 100 pounds, and feeding 25 pounds
of skim milk with pasture, they reached an
average weight, September lst, of 347 pounds
is 1913 days, or an average gain Of two pounds
per day. 1t is almost impossible, on sour
milk and grass to keep calves from securing
to some extent. We have made better weight
in summer by allowing them to run in
yard and feeding good hay in racks. The
hay seems to counteract the acidity of the
milk. We have no hesitation in saying
that calves, well cared for, will make bet
teregrowth on sweet skim milk land hay in
winter, than on sour skim-mik and grass
in summer Then it must be profitable to
raise winter calves for beef; for, as we have
seen, they will be heavier, and cost no more
And if heifers are raised for the dairy, and
come in at two years old, they will cost less
raised from fall calves than spring calves.
for, in the former case, as we have seen, the
first winter costs no more than summer
keep, and SO there is.only the extra cost of
one winter before the heifer drops her calf
and becomes producing cow. Most dairy
men who believe in tall feeding, and, there
fore raise heiiers of good growth, also believe
in early maternity, that the milking habit
may be developed early. The general opn-
ion of the best dairymcn IS, that COW at
years old, will give more milk if she comes
in at two than years old. There can,
therefore, be no valid objection to raise win
ter calves where il is found profitable TO
make winter butter. And this is likely to
extend year by year; for the general taste
seems to prefer fresh butter to that which
has been kept for half year.-Nat. Live-
