OPEN AIR TREATMENT.
Calves Are Healthier When Kept Do
the Open.

For the past 2 years Oh more Hood
farm in Massachusetts has been rear
ing its choice Jersey calves and
carrying them through the winter by
what is termed the open air methods p"
In describing this plan In a recent u.s.
sue of the Practical Dairyman, Val
ency b. Fuller, in speaking Of the
calves and their treatment, says:
They have a row Of low, long sheds,
facing south, with the roof sloping to
the north, divided off into about five
sections. There are windows facing
the southern exposure and they are
long horizontally, admitting the sun
light on bright days. There is a door
which is rarely closed through the
winter, unless there are unusually bad
snow storms from the south OF south
west.
"Each shed or pen has a large yard
in which the calves run. Before win
ter sets in, all the calves except the
very young ones, and those not old
enough to be sent up to their Vermont
place, are divided of according to ages
and sex, and each lot has a shed and
yard for its winter run. They are left
there until spring, having free access
to the yard every day, and II is won
derful to see how they will go out in
a snowstorm, and scamper and enjoy
themselves Manure from the horse
stables is put in daily, and Of course
changed every day, and the calves find
it an aid in warming their bodies at
night when they lie down.
This system has resulted in pFoduc-
ing strong, rugged heifers and young
bulls, and helps to make larger COWS.
When treated in this way, they are
not pampered, and while they are ex-
posed TO the severe weather Of Massa-
chusetis, sickness is very rare.
If dairy farmers would have their
cows calve in the early fall. and treat
the calves in this way, they would
get splendid growth in the winter and
would be ready TO put them out on pas
ture in the spring. thereby guarantee
ing good growth, rugged animals and a
good sized heifer when calving time
came.
Further along in the same row Of
sheds are the pens for the service
bulls, with Yards adjacent
It is very rare to see the bulls in
the sheds, except in very meIement
weather, and then only for a very
short time, and as they are never tied
up they are usually roaming about
the yards, and the same may be said
of the heifer and bull calves. The
coats Of the bulls grow very long. II
seems to me that this is Natures
way Of treating the bulls. They re
main in these yards and pens summer
and winter This prolongs life, makes
them vigorous and active, docile, ant
is, in fact, conducive to health in every
way"
