FEEDING THE CALVES
SKIM MILK
By Prof. 4. L. Hacker, Nebraska
AxriculturaI 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 manager, 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-
tions i'm preference to large ones.
With the present prices paid for
butter fat 1t requires a rich man to
