MAKING COWS GOOD FEEDERS.


T The cow for the dairy, no less than
the animals intended for making beef,
needs to be a hearty feeder. In fact,
there is greater necessity, since the pro-
duction of a large yield of milk demands
stronger digestive powers than are re-
Iuircd to lay on fat If calf is consti
tutionally poor feeder, do not try to
make a COW of it, for it will be disap-
pointmcnt. But make sure before turn
ing the calf over to the butcher that the
fault is its rather than your own. Poor
feeding, either by irrcgularty or dispro-
portioncd rations, wcakcns the digestive
organs. The most common mistake in
feeding calves with other than milk is in
giving too rich food, and that containing
too little material for making growth.
Oatmeal is excellent, especially if the
coarse parts are removed, and it is then
cooked. But after the calf is three or
four months old it should be given as
great variety as possible. If early accus-
toned to eat anything set before it, the
habit will last through life, and a cow
thus reared will be invaluable for families
keeping only one animal, to which all
the eatablc refuse from the kitchen, in
Guiding the warm dishwatcr and skinned
milk, may be given. If n COW is thus
trained to eat anything she will improve
her dairy qualities, and transmit these
characteristics to her young.
