as much when she has been allowed to be

Another mistake is to change abruptly
from new milk to skim milk while the calf Is
Young II tho calf has been fed new milk
for three or four weeks it can be changed TO
the skim milk gradually and not check It's
growth or produce any bad results.
BY the time the calf Is four weeks old it
ought To he taking four quarts OF new milk
twice per day. Begin by substituting one
quart of skim milk and three quarts OF new
milk at q feeding for few days and then
change to half new milk and half skim milk.
and so on until at the end OF the sixth week
It Is taking all skim milk
AS soon as one begins TO feed skim m
one should begin To some feed TO take
the place OF the cream. II is good feed
to take at first about a teaspoonfu OF old

meal and make 1t into n porridge, and put
into the milk TO feed each time for few

creased, and thus prevent any check in tho
growth OF the calf.
Another mistake Is to give too much milk
al time. Some think as the quality of the
milk is diminished the quantity must be In
creased. Such is dangerous practice. 1t
is also a grave error very often made to
feed too much concentrated or grain feeds
10 the calf while young. II Is better to not
feed all the milk grain that the calf could
possibly utilize. The result of overlooking
OF either milk or grain Is darrhoea. One
should remember that the stomach of calf
can utilize only certain amount at time.
More Injuries instead of benefits The cx-
cess OF feed Is worse than thrown away.
one Of the things one should remember
IS that a calf Is rumlnant and wants somc
forage to mako cud BY the timo a calf Is

little should be put within Its reach. Many
times calves allowed to suffer from lack

In my own experience have had the best
results when kept the c0lves In shed and

having little stanchons and a manger out
