that he is low vulgar creature 1t

without education. 1t does not neces-
sarily mean that he has never had the

MANNER OF FEEDING CALVES
Milk Is Too Valuable Product to Give
to SIS YearIing-Grain and Cot
tonsecd Meal Good.
CBy G. II. ALFORD)


Many calves that will not sell for
more than ten dollars at two years
of age are now getting quart or
more of whole milk from mothers ev-
cry day These calves are permitted
to take milk from their mothers that
would sell for from 20 to 40 cents
per gallon in many sections These
calves may be raised by hand and
thereby save many gallons of whole
milk.
The calm may be fed on whole milk
for say two weeks after birth. After
the calf is two weeks old it's ration
may be gradually changed from whole
milk to skim-milk. Al the age of one
month the calf should be taught to
eat grain and cottonseed meal. A
small quantity of corn, oats, and cot
tonseed meal may be mixed with the
skim-milk for the calves.
Milk is entirely too valuable to feed
to five dollar yearlings. Many cheap
yearlings have used at least twenty.
five dollars worth OF whole milk. The
farmers CHILDREN may not get the nee
essary milk but the scrub calves must
be fed milk rich in butterfat. A hand
separator costs very little money and
makes the feeding Of calves on skim.
milk possible. The saving will soon
pay for the separator.
