nor. not usually Ill his usual but
ting way, but quite innocently
otherwise. Billy for time thought
he owned the bank, and the bank
knew it unfortunately owned Billy.
The ownership of Billy by the bank
was unintentional and incidental.
And Billv's offense was likewise so.
Of course, the bank did not as
rule deal in or with goats; at least
not Billy's kind. Nor did Billy ne
qotiate with banks. He never ex-
Dected to rise in the world to such
an extent. He had been content to
help others rise occasionally when
coming his way.
But the association came about
quite naturally. The bank had
NEGOTIATED a loan to a ne e'er-do-well
woodsman, who happened, among
other things and animals, to own
Billy. The loan was secured by
chattel mortgage on everything the
woodsman had, and incidentally in
cluded the goat. When the debt
became due, the bank took the
property and sold everything but
Billy. Nobody would buy, was one
reason, and the cashiers son was
the other reason. The boy induced
the bank not to give away the goat.
So Billy was brought to town and
placed in the banks vacant block,
where, scorning the fence, he
STAYED when he wanted to. He
generally did not linger there; but
wandered about town and espe-
cially about the freight yards.

In this way by the time the calf is
40 days old he is taking all skinned
milk and his ration is very fnexpens-
I've. At the time when the skinned
milk begins to be added to the ra-
ton, calf scours and collie are very
liable to occur. To eliminate this
danger it is advisable to feed blood
-four with the milk. There are two
advantages in feeding this flour. The
first which has been suggested is to
eliminate the danger of scours and it
Is doubtful whether or not there 10
anything that is more efficient for this
purpose. In the second place, the
blood flour adds a great deal of pro-

til such time as the Inflammation has
left the udder of the dam. This is
for two reasons: In the first place,
the calf is not exceedingly strong and
1t would gain strength much more
quickly where it is allowed to. remain
with the mother and under her care
than where it is subjected to the care
OF the feeder at once and taught to
drink milk from pail. In the second
place. common dairy cows usually
have considerable amount of inflam-
nation in the udder at freshening
time and there is no way in which
this Inflammation may be relieved so
quickly or efficiently as by the process
of nursing which the calf only knows.

In the foregoing articles the writer
has discussed the feeding, breeding
and testing of the dairy. When a
herd of COWS is given the proper care
and feed during years time, each
COW In the herd has had an oppor-
tunity to produce largely and profit
ably. As a matter of fact. however.
there are few herds in the United
States today every individual OF which
Is a profit-producing animal and as
has before been stated the only meth
Cd of determining which of the ami
mails it is that is lacking in butter
making ability is to weigh and test
the milk continuously through the
year. This having been done, it is
only a course of time until the dairy
farmer is well acquainted with each
individual cow and it Is time now for
him to be disposing of the inferior
cows and taking better care of the
good COWS and replacing the poor
cows with those that have merit.
Only Pure-6red Sires Should Be Used.
AS has been pointed out before, the
calf may have good sire and good
mother but still, owing to the fact that
some place back in his pedigree three
to five generations there may be a
very poor individual whose character
istics he is almost as liable to repro
duce as he Is those characteristics of
The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1910-08-26

his sire and dam, 1t is always better
to fit grade male calves for veal and
sell them to the butcher as soon as
greatest profit to be gained from
calves of such breeding is at this
time. There are many systems of
feeding calves for veal which will re-
suit in profit. To demand the
largest price the calves should be fat
and in good condition. The best
grade of veal is produced from the
from the COW, but because the calf
should be four weeks old before being
vealed, it is rather an expensive
process to permit it to nurse for four
weeks time. 1t is possible to feed
them other foods rather than whole
milk but to the experienced buyer Of
veal, unless care is taken in the feed
ing, the coarser feed will be detected.
The feeder should watch the calf and
sell 1t as soon as the white of the eye
begins to take on yellow tint. The
color of the white Of the eye is indi-
cative Of the character of the veal
Making Veal.
In Scotland and Holland where the
making Of veal Is carried On for profit
largely, they have systems Of feeding
characteristic of the cows In Scot
land the younger calves are permitted
to nurse the first milk from the COW,
taking as much as they care for; the
older calves are given that which re-
mains-the last milk or the milk

which is always the riches.. In Hol-
land the calves as soon as born are
placed in very narrow stalls where
they cannot turn around although
they can lie and stand comfortably.
Three times q day the calves are given
all the milk they can drink. During
the period Of eight to ten weeks of
average Of about thirty-four pounds
of milk a day. but where fed so large
~ it 10 necessary to give them finely
ground shells and sand to prevent
scours. In both of these countries the
calves are kept in q warm, dry barn
In stalls that are well bedded and kept
dark. It is believed that In feeding
for veal calves will do better and
produce a better quality Of veal where
they are confined in darkened quar-
tiers rather than permitting them to
be fed In a light place. In this coun-
try, however. it il doubtful If the
time has been reached when the
butcher will appreciate the difference
between extra good veal and veal Of a
medium class to such great extent
that he will pay the difference in
price, and it is doubtful If the Amer
lean feeder can afford to feed calves
in this manner.
Feeding Calves.
More care must be used in feeding
the calves that are to become the fu-
ture producing herd. Many great mis-
takes are made from the time the calf

hungry and to an extent drink of it's
own free will rather than to try to
force it to learn to drink when it is
not hungry. Oftentimes one becomes
fearful that the calf will die because
it will not take nourishment from the
pail, but this is useless. Calves at
this age can get along we'll without
milk for "a hours ard by that time
they are always willing to take milk
from the pail with a little coaxing.
For the first two weeks especially of
the calf's life it should receive warm,
new milk from it's mother as soon as
drawn. 1t should always be borne in
mind that young calves should never
receive cold milk and If for some
cause or other the milk becomes cold
it should be heated up to a tempera-
ture of 80 degrees before being fed.
Much Of the calf collie and scours,
from the effects of which many calves
die, is caused by feeding milk that is
cold.
Warm Milk Essential.
During the first two weeks there
should be nothing added but the milk
given warm direct from the mother.
During this time care should be taken
not to overfeed the calf A good rule
to follow is to feed five pounds of
the warm milk night and morning If
the COW is being MIXED only twice a
day. but this Is not the best plan be-
cause when the calf is permitted to
remain with the mother it will be no.
