AMouNr OF MILk roR cALvEs.
lt Varies with shs Capacity Of tire
Animal.

The amount OF milk for calves
varies greatly with the capacity OF
the calf to take It. The amount
recommended 10 be fed also varies
greatly. some authorities recommend
ing twice as much as others. With
reference to this question It win be
correct to say that during the earlier
weeks Of the life OF the calf no ad.
juncts viii be found superior or equal
70 milk. Il Is also true at the same
time that as soon as calves can utilize
other food to good advantage. II will
be found cheaper than milk. It fol-
lows. therefore. that the calves should
be given all the milk thar they can
digest properly until they can make a
good use OF other substitutes that will
take the place Of milk.
But care should be taken not to
overfeed milk, good as II Is, cautions
the Orange Judd Farmer. This can
be easily done The indications OF
oFerleedlng soon show themselves In
deranged digestion. and such derange-
ment Is commonly indicated by scour-
ings The moment that such an indi.
cation appears the amount of milk fed
should be reduced.
It is very evident from what has
been said that It will not be possible
to name the amounts OF milk to feed
that will be suitable for calves of all
ages, but 1t may be possible to state
average amounts. II would seem safe
to say that during the first week OF
the life Of calf It will safely take
from six to eight pounds Of milk, the
latter quantity being fed at the close
OF the week. Strong, vigorous calves
may take as much as ten pounds, but
ordinarily the smaller quantity Is the
safer one. Then add one pound Of
milk every week with advance In the
age Of the calf until it is, say, ten
weeks old.
