There is no reason why calves Tor any

animals, such as calves or colts. should.
get their first food as the milk OF the

the calf away from It's mother and
compel 1t to drink something which
does not nourishs or which 1T cannot
digest, Of course there is going to be-
trouble. n
The feeder must consider all thess
things. II too much skim milk is given,
1t is apt to cause indigestion. III h
feeding is done i%rregularly there Is suro
to be trouble; or II the milk stands too
long and gets cold there is another
chance for disturbance. But the most
frequent source of scours Is the dirty
feed pail. Many dislike to handle young
calves, and none of the above things
is watched as carefully as 1t should be-

Those who have tried both method

Many hesitate about testing their
cows, thinking that a costly outfit II

Babcock tester is really all the outfit
needed. The scales need not cost more
than $3.50, and the tester will cost from

When too much butter is left in the
burtermilk the cause may be too high
temperature, or sweet and sour cream

It is a pretty nice thing to know
just when cream Is in the best stage
for churning. The common way u

is the right stage for easiest churninx-
Don't crow the churning. This In

the better the grain Of the butter, and
the larger the yield OF butter. Fol

An Illinois creamery was closed a
few weeks e because 1t could not get
decent cream. There was plenty Of
cream furnished, the product Of nearly
$50 cows. but the majority of the pa-
irons paid no attention to the care OF
their cream. Good prices were paid.
but the best butter1naker cannot make
high grade butter out of many favored
cream.
Unless you are pretty sure Of your
customers and you make a first class
article of butter. better send the cream
to h creamery If one is handy. Usual
ly creameries are anxious to get cream
and they pay good prices the year
around.
IT you are not going to put up
silage for winter feed, better lay In :

cessful In keeping cows up to their
best by feeding exclusively on dry
feed during the winter.
