CALF scouRs.

Hoard's Dairyman: I see q great
deal written of how to cure scours in
calves. I have raised from eight to ten
calves every year for the last eighteen
years and have never lost one from
.scours. Now. think an ounce Of pre-
,vention is worth a pound Of cure. 30
the time to begin to raise the calf Is
before 1t is dropped. While the mother
is farrow feed very little grain. but
plenty Of hay and fodder. with free
access to salt.
Two weeks before calving I increase
the grain so that at parturition she Is
receiving one-third of ration, feeding
bran or other laxative food, and by the
judicious use of salts keep her bowels
loose and temperature normal. A few
days before delivery (and If you are a
good student Of cowology you can telD
l give her one-half to three-fourths Of
a pound of salts. After the calf is
dropped let 1t have free access to its
mother for two days, after which, un-
til it is five days old. it sucks twice
day For the next few days I feed it
twice day one-half gallon of fresh
milk at feed and then put it gradu-
ually on sweet skim milk, warmed, UNI
til at two weeks old it is getting three
quarts and at four. one gallon with
spoonful of middlings or bran; after
which increase the bran to one pint
and induce it to eat little whole oats
or corn and plenty Of hay or grass.
I do not increase the milk any until
1t is several months old, when, If we
have plenty of milk, it will stand six
quarts at feed and less grain. II we
are short Of milk, give more bran-in
fact, have raised some fine calves on
one gallon of milk per day and lots Of
bran, and II at any time some one Il
can't do it all myself who is delegated
to feed 1t. feeds too much or too warm,
or too cold, or at irregular times, and
the calf gets of its feed, or gets the
scours, soon correct 1t by giving a
gentle physic and then q raw egg at
each meal, for few days; and provid-
ing the case is stubborn and won't yield
use a tea made by sleeping blackber-
~ roots in water. AS my calves are all
Jerseys, and raised for cows, knock all
bull calves on head Immediately at
birth, and boil for the chickens. Twen-
ty-five cent butter and Jersey veal
don't go together. In endeavor to in
duce the calf to eat all the bulky feed
