it is necessary for the farmer to keep

PAIN COMMON N
Really Nothing Else Is Required to
Rise Healthy Calves Under
Ordinary Conditions.

In ali my experience l never lost but
one young calf while it was sucking its
lam. That Was many years ago VIXEN
hungarian grass first put in al appear
ance with US, and the hay fed to the
COW killed the calf, writes 4 contribu-
tor to Homestead. The milk caked in
the calfs stomach. Ny experience has
always been to restrict the feed of the
cow for two Or three weeks before
calving, and if this is properly done L
think there viii. as n rule. be no scours
in the calf. The fatter the cow the
more care is necessary. I have had
cows come in that were fit for The
butchers block. and have allowed the
calves to take all the milk they would.
and this, too, without harm to them.
When the COW is not on grass | feed
hay, and not too much. with no grain
whatever for at least a week before
calving. | also give 4 little wheat bran
every other day for the sake of lis
regulating effect. Let the cow get a
little hungry at this time. and it will
not hurt her. while it will benefit the
N"i' Al way VI sCttII4S Will HE has
always got the COW and her milk in
such a condition that the calf can have
all ii wants of it. and I only take away
what is left. Sometimes the calf may
be a little constipated. and when this
is so feed more bran and all VIII come
right. With me the question has not
been so much the quantity as the quail
itv of milk that makes the healthy
calf. | invariably leave the cow and
calf together for the first week or two.
During the month of May the cow
should be or the grass. but as caivine
time draws neal she should be in the
stable at night. In June. when the
grass should be at its best, look out for
milk fever. If you have 4 lot where
the grass is short and not too plenti-
full. that is the best place for her. The
main idea hat | would impress is
when the row is fat and has been
fed high for about three weeks before
calving, the rich feed must be taken
away or scOurs in the calf viii follow.
You may think it an epidemic or call
it what you will. but | am satisfied this
is the cause that kills many a calf and
what will kill one will kill more. | think
the idea here advanced applies TO horses
and hogs as well. As to the sheep, |

No dairyman who makes a study OF
his business is satisfied with watering
his herd once a day. If his cattle can
be induced TO drink two or three times
a day he is glad of it. All the cattle
may not be equally thirsty at the same
time. Cows require an immense
amount of water, as every farmer boy
has noticed. Experiments have shown
hat the average mich COW needs about
81 pounds of water a day while in
milk-this is nearly ten gallons-and
over so pounds while dry. Of this the
GOWN milk takes rather more than two
thirds as drink and the rest in her food,
while the dry COW takes rather less than
two-thirds as drink and little more
than one-third in her food.-Tarmer's
Review.
