REPLY ~ Careful investigation
will doubtless show that the mortality
among the calves is due to the raticns
upon which the dams have been fed.
Such losses are not uncommon where
the cows have run outside ell winter and
lived largely upon a diet of hay and fod-
der without grain sufficient to mature a
healthy offspring as we'll as maintain
tho life and condition of the dam. An
other FAUST is often found in contami-
mated drinking water, SO you will have
