FEEDING THE CALVES
SKIM MILK
BY Prof. A. L. Hacker, Nebraska
Agricultural College.

The use of the hand separator has
brought about the rearing of many
calves on hand separator skim milk.
The calf stanchion is the best equip
ment for calf feeding. This stanchion
should be supplied with a little box
or manger, and the stanchion should
be used both in the calf pen and in
the calf pasture. Care should be used
to feed the skim milk fresh and warm
from the separator, giving small ra-
tons in preference to large ones.
With the present prices paid for
butter fat it requires a rich man to
afford his calves the luxury of nurs-
ing their dams, and the one who says
he cannot afford the time to milk and
feed calves is either getting a very
large salary or is well enough off so
that he need not economic in this
way. This does not, of course, refer to
the man raising pure-bred beef cattle
or the range conditions. There is
quite a diversity of opinion in the
method of rearing calf on skim milk,
and | do not assume that mine is the
only one or that it is particularly bet
ter than others. But l have been very
successful in raising calves for the past
20 years and attribute this success
largely to the method employed.
After the calf is removed from the
COW it should be given its mothers
milk for a few days, and then any
whole milk will answer, but it is bet
ter to give milk that is low in per
cent. of butter fat than that which is
high. Feed small rations in clean pals.
When the calf is from ten days to two
weeks old it may be changed from
whole milk to skim milk by adding a
small amount of skim milk, say one
fourth, and increasing this per cent.
at each feeding until the change is
made, and the calf is on a skim milk
ration. The skim milk to be the best
for calves should be fresh and warm
| from the separator.
Now is the time to start feeding a
butter fat substitute and this may be
| given in the milk until the calf is
able to eat ground feed. Oil meal
makes good calf feed and a little
added to the skim milk will answer
the purpose. Here is when the calf
stanchion will come in handy, for
with. such an equipment the calf can
| be taught to eat grain much earlier, on
account of its being held in front of the

Murderers in Hiah PIaces.

To enter into the details OF the
causes that contribute to high death
rate among infants is to indict about
every city in the land and all OF the
states for completely in a murderous
conspiracy. When a municipal legisla-
ture declines to pass any law honestly
ana scientifically designed TO increase
the purity of the milk supply, it be-
comes a party to this murderous con-
spiracy. If it fails to enact suitable
building laws, it is guilty Of crime OF
omission. 1t is similarly derelict, de-
clares the st. Louis Republic, when IL
fails to provide for the medical inspec-
ton OF school children or to compel
the taking OF any and all the precau-
lions which science has devised and
experience has proved to be beneficial.
We may hold opinion with certain men
of science, commonly designated as
cranks, that disease is a crime, but we
may not hope to see the people attain
to universal heights of right living
But because individuals habitually and
often Intentionally abuse or neglect
their bodies, the state is not absolved
from exercising to the limit OF toler-
ance its duty of safeguarding life and
health. AS 1t is now, the state sins as
the individuals do and, presumably, be
cause they do.

The habit of hyphenating names Is
a curious one, and more prevalent in
England than in this country. 1t will
be recalled that many Of the plays of
Shakespeare appeared with Shake

recently observed that American
names are being printed in this fashion
quite frequently in the British papers
of to-day. "Bailey-Aldrich," Clarence
Stedman" and "Gillespie-Blaine" are
examples. In cases where the hyphen
is not used, the first name is often
dropped. and we read of Allan Poe"

Raising a CaIf.-It is an expensive
proposition to raise calf on milk at
the present market price. The guam
tity of milk which calf will require
for it's maintenance and growth may
be somewhat reduced by early teach
ing the calf to eat hay, corn, and other
feeds. The young calf will learn to
eat shelled corn at four or five weeks
of age and hay at the same age or
even earlier. By giving it these feeds
twice daily regularly the milk ration
may be reduced and the calf will
thrive.

Give Cows Good Care.-The milk of
a COW that produces 10000 pounds of

tains on an average $40 pounds of
water, 800 pounds of fat, 485 pounds
of sugar, $40 pounds of proteids or
Gaseous matter, and n pounds of ash.
To produce the above amounts, it is
evident that she must consume succu-
lent food and large quantities of water.
In other words, we might say that the
COW is a machine for Transforming the
rougher foods such as fodder, corn,
hay and different grains into the finer
finished product that we call milk and
cream. The efficiency of any machine
depends upon the care it receives. If
every man who keeps cows would Sc
riously consider what to feed and how
to care for them, it would do more to
increase butter fat production. than

Shrimps are good at this time of

to lay a good-siZed can of them in wa

A good calf feed may be made by
mixing the following food stuffs: Blood
meal ten pounds, bone meal five
pounds, oil meal 20 pounds, oat meal
20 pounds, corn meal 20 pounds. This
mixed well together and given in
small rations after the skim milk has
been fed. The calf should also have
free access to water and salt as well
as hay or pasture, as the season may
require. The grain may be changed
to simply corn and oats or bran as
the calf grows older, say after three
months old. In this way good calves
may be raised in an economic way, and

There is no class of farming more
under the control of the proprietor
than dairying. 1t is a branch of hus-
bandry that calls for the exercise of
intelligence and judgment. The mer-

record of their transactions and can
tell whether their business is operated
at a profit or loss. The milk producer
can keep a record of his cows and
weed out the improbable members
