Eeedina For Pest Results,

When feeding for lest results and
especially for cow weighing a thou
sand pounds and yielding twenty-five
pounds of per cent milk there are re-
quired approximately two pounds of
digestible protein. thirteen pounds Of
carbohydrates and little over half
a pound of fat. A ration composed of
twenty pounds clover hay. ten pounds
corn stover. four pounds ground corn
and one pound Oilmeal would furnish
these various nutrients. 1t is not prob
able that the ordinary COW would con-
sumo such an amount of roughage. and
one may substitute one pound of bran
for each two pounds of clover hay
that the COW does not eat. More than
this. some bran should be added to
dilute the corn and oilmeals. as they
are too concentrated when fed alone.

RAISING THE
BOTTLE FED CALF

My experience in raising the SO
called skimmilk calf may be Of benefit
to others, says an expert on dairy mat
ters. Allow the calf to suckle it's
mother until the milk is good. or at
least week. This gives the calf a
good start
Don't make the mistake of taking
the calf out of the cows sight. but al
low it to be near her, so she can see il.
and lick it. This not only satisfies the
COW. so that she will give you her full
amount of milk. but assists the calf in
his growth. If not convenient to put ii
so close let it at least be where she
can see it.
Now obtain a common quart beef
bottle. Don't put on nipple. but
place the neck of the bottle in the
Calls mouth. holding the bottle about
as high as the COWS udder. This
throws his head and neck more in the
natural position and enables him to
obtain his rations very much as he
was intended to do. thereby assisting
digestion. Tip the bottle a little at a
time. so as not to strange him. In a
little while he will learn to regulate
this himself. He usually learns to suck
very we'll the second time
Rub him gently down the back while
he is sucking This keeps his blood
circulating and makes him grow. Use
his own mothers milk until he is past
three months old. as it is his own age
and grows older as be does. while older
or younger milk might make him sick
Give eight bottles day-three in the
morning. two at noon and three at
night. Allow one of these bottles in
the morning and one at night to be
whole milk until he is six weeks old
Some might say: That is too expen-
sive. Give him all skimmilk." This is
not true. If your COW does not give
enough to allow the calf two quarts a
day of whole milk and still give you
good profit better turn COW and calf
together and let them 60 Your cow is
not worth keeping.
Run the milk through the separator
as soon after milking as is possible. so
as to allow him to have as much of the
animal heat as can be obtained
through skimmilk. If you attempt to
warm the milk at all do so by placing
it in a double boiler. but never make
the mistake of setting the pan of milk
on hot stove, as in this way you can
not keep from scorching some parts of
the milk, and soon you have
''scoury" calf and don't know what
caused it. l have made it rule to
take the milk Immediately from the
separator to the calf. Do not at any
time give more or less than the eight
bottles a day.
Now about the care of the bottle
AS soon as you are through feeding
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1910-07-07

wash it two or three times with cold
water. then with boiling water. This
keeps it sweet and clean. If at any
time the calf should become ''scoury'
clean the bottle by putting in coarse
sand or fine gravel i'm water and shak-
ing it well.
AS soon as the calf begins to eat
give him twice a day pint of crushed
corn and cob and a pint of ground
oats. increasing this slowly until by
the time he is three and half months
old he is eating half gallon at a feed.
In summer allow him the pasture and
in winter feed clover hay and corn
fodder with oat straw if it is clean and
bright. ! have always raised better
calf in winter. as dry feed agrees with
them better than green. Change the
dry feed until he has had some of each
every day.
Give him plenty of fresh water to
drink. fresh air. but not draft. and a
clean stall. with plenty of bedding. AS
often as you can give him rubbing
with brush. When you begin wean-
ing him at about four or five months
old. or whatever age you may see fit.
but not too soon. taper off by feeding
him milk twice day. then once and
at last not at all. and he will scarcely
know what has happened. Never
abuse him. but be kind and gentle with
him under all circumstances and
thereby teach him to love you.

nostrils and the pus from the abscess
which forms under the jaw and later
breaks.
The majority of cases of distemper
occur before the age of fifteen years
The constitutional disturbances caused

poorly ventilated stables, overworked
and poorly fed animals. are factors
that weaken the resistance and make
infection possible to produce the dis
ease.
The disease is more common in the
spring and fall of the year. particu-
larry the former, on account of the
chill received at these seasons of the
year.
The disease can also be transmitted
from dam to offspring through the
milk. The animal usually develops the
disease in from three days to three
weeks after being exposed to the con-
tagion.
Animals affected with distemper
should not be sold. Young animals
should not be brought in contact with
those affected nor watered out of the
same bucket nor come in contact with
any other property until it has been
thoroughly disinfected. An animal
should not be castrated while suffering
with strangles.

MAKING COTTAGE CHEESE.
Authority's Suggestion For Getting
Good Result From ButtermiIk.

Authority's Suggestion For Getting
Good Result From ButtermiIk.
In view of the recent discussion OF
methods of obtaining the curd from
buttermilk. many readers may be in
terested i'm method successfully en-
ployed by the writer in making cot
tage cheese from buttermilk. This
method, which is the embodiment of
simplicity itself. is as follows:
Add at the rate of one pound of
skimmilk to about six pounds of but
termilk. Thoroughly mix and heat to
1O4 to 40 degrees F.. when the curd
will almost instantly separate. BY this
method it is just as easy to make
cheese from buttermilk as from skim
milk. There is no reason why single
pound of buttermilk should be wasted.
If it cannot be fed. drunk or sold as
cheese. it should be turned into dried
casein. the same as is done with
great deal of skimmilk

MANAGING SHEEP
IN WARM WEATHER

Summer care of the flock is easy If
you have plenty of grass, water and
shade, is the opinion expressed by a
well known authority on sheen, who
says: l always have good pastures, be-
ing either legumes or grasses Person.
ally prefer blue grass slightly mixed
with white clover. as legumes are apt
to get the ewes too fat before breed
ing time. | never allow the flock to
stay longer than three weeks in one
pasture without changing to new quar-
tiers. By these frequent changes l less

which is apt to come from too close
grazing of pastures. A frequent
change also gives the flock a chance to
select the things most palatable to
them.
My sheep always have access to
shade and plenty of fresh water.
am of the opinion that standing water
is always more or less infected with
dangerous parasites. My only means
of protection against the gadfy is to
pillow few burrows where the sheep
stand in the shade. close watch
must be kept throughout the summer

worms kept out of the wool. caused

Another good way to combat stom-

DAIRY NOTES

If it were not go nard for some milk
men to steer clear of the water pail
honest dairy men might expect better
prices for milk.
Dehorned Cow Easy to Handle.
DaTymen generally like cows with
out horns. They are much easier to
handle. there is less risk of their being
injured. and they take up less room
Regularity In Milking.
Milk quietly. quickly. clearly and
thoroughly. Cows do not like unneces-
sary noise or delay. Commence milk
ing at exactly the same hour every
morning and evening and milk the
cows in the same order
Muslin Covered Windows.
Cows should not staEd facing a win
dow unless the window be covered
with muslin. By the way. the muslin
window in the cow stable is better by
far than glass. 1t gives subdued
light and furnishes ideal ventilation.
Cleanliness In Dairying.
Although the factor of keeping clean
both milk and cream may not appeal
to some farmers as much as it should
there is one phase of the subject that
may. That phase is cleanliness as a
guard against the dissemination Of dis
ease by milk and cream.

Method of Curing cowpox.

For cows that are troubled with pox
at each milking time the udder and
teats should be well bathed with a 2
per cent solution of carbolic acid or a
solution made of creolin. zenoleum or
some such commercial dip. The hands
should be washed thoroughly in this
disinfectant after milking each cow
before starting on another. for in this
manner the disease is spread from one
to another. 1t will be necessary to
continue this operation until the trou-
BILE has been done away with from the
entire herd.
