BEARING CALVES.

h. ID. Richards, writing to the Ameri-
ran CuttiDdt0r, says: In the earlier DAYS
It was the general practice among dairy
farmers to allow the calf TO run with its
dam during the first season. Such a
method is too expensive for these days.
Again, it works great damage TO the COW
II she is TO be kept for the dairy. When
the dams bag becomes healthy and in
normal condition, the sooner the calf is
removed from her side the better for the
COW.
In order to give the calf good start,
1t is well to let it drink part of the moth
ers milk warm from the COW, but after
Few days give skim milk. IL is advisable
to scald the milk for few days TO pre-
vent sours, which are inclined to trouble
calves raised by hand. Some dairymen
feed calves upon whey and turn them out
to grass. Such calves, if they live at all
until time 20 go 10 the barn are seldom
worth winterinR. Long experience and
observation have confirmed me in the
belief that the best and most successful
way to raise calves by hand is the English
custom OF keeping them in the barn the
first season; give them a small yard where
they may go 10 and from their pen at
pleasure and take the fresh air. Keep
their quarters strictly clean, feed them
upon skim milk either sweet or sour,
prefer it sour, give them all the good hay
that they will eat, and they will soon learn
TO eat quite a quantity. Milk does not
take the place of water. They should
have fresh water daily A few ground
oats daily will give them fine start the
first season.
The future Of any animal depends
greatly upon the start it gets the first
year Calves need salt The best way
TO salt them is 10 place lump Of mineral
salt within their reach then they will lap
it as they need box Of fresh loan Is
also an excellent thing 10 place within
their reach. Calves fed upon milk crave
something Of this sort II the floor l.

which wish 10 call attention 70 is the
