RAISING DAIRY cows.
Proper Feeding and Handling
Are Almost as Important.

The first and most essential thing
in raising q dairy cow is breeding.
Feeding and handling are Of the ut
most Importance, but without right
breeding to start with no amount of
skill or care in feeding and handling
can make first-class dairy cow, just
as no amount of cultivat ton and ma
nure will convert crab apple into q
Newton Pippin.
In my opinion, the only right way to
begin to make a frst-class dairy cow
is to procure Jersey heifer calf from
a bull and cow that have an estab-
lished reputation for breeding first
class cows. Then keep the calf in
perfectly healthy, growing condition.
While she should not be overfed, she
should never be allowed to go hungry
or miss a meal. Her food should be
for the first three days the milk of the
dam taken in the natural way; after
that, for ten days or two weeks, the
fresh milk of her dam; then begin to
mix skim milk with the whole milk,
| gradually reducing the whole milk
and increasing the skim milk, but al
ways fed warm. AS soon as the calf
will take it, feed little ground oats,
and put into pasture if the weather
permits.
Exercise is almost as essential to
the health of the young animals as
food. Keep the calf's sleeping place
perfectly dry and scrupulously clean.
protected from drafts, but with plenty
of ventilation. A calf or heifer needs
very little, if any, corn meal, and never
any cotton seed meal. Grass, bran and
ground oats will keep a calf growing
and healthy if allowed plenty of fresh
air and exercise. Keep the calf gentle
by handling it every day. The dairy
man or herdsman whose cows are
afraid of him has no business with 9
