THE DAIRY CALF
At FEEDING TIME
BY PROF. D. H. OTIS.
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

fSssAssAEs
The future possibilities of the new
born calf depend on the thought and
skin that the owner puts into it's feed,
care and management. Mistakes
made at this period of the calf's life
are probably of lifelong influence,
while q mistake in feeding and caring
for a mature animal may be only tenn
porary. By good feed and care, or the
lack of it. it is easy to make a varia-
ton of 81 to S. or $40 per head in
the value of the calf the first year.
This means millions of dollars to the
dairy farmers of Wisconsin. A differ
ence of SIS per head would mean from
$50 to sos annually to every farm in
he state
Treatment of Young Calf.
If the COW fails to lick the calf
soon after birth it should be rubbed
dry with cloth or straw, and if neces-
sary assisted to get it's first meal. 1t
is especially important for the calf
to get the first of colostTum milk OF
the dam. This milk contains about
17.6 per cent Of protein or nearly six
times as much as ordinary milk 1t
is a powerful laxative and tonic and
is effective in removing the faecal
matter from the alimentary canal.
The calf should receive its mothers
milk for the first week, after which it
may get the mixed whole milk of the
herd.
The calf may be allowed to suck IN
til the milk is fit for human consump-
ton, usually about the eighth or ninth
milking. The calf may then be re-
moved, preferably to an adjoining pen
or lot where the COW may reach and
fondIe it but where the partition is
sufficiently high to prevent it from
sucking This Will insure the con-
tentment of the COW, and when the
calf is kindly treated will go a long
way to inspire confidence in the herds
man or attendant.
It should be remembered that while
the stomach of the COW is remarkably
large, holding in its four compart-
ments about go quarts, that of the
calf is small, holding about two or
three quarts, its first two compart-
ments being yet undeveloped. When
allowed to run with the COW, the calf
is said to suck from 10 to Is times
daily, taking only little milk at
time. When removed from its mother
and left from six to twelve hours, it
gets exceedingly hungry and when Of
fered milk in large quantities viii
gorge itself and force the milk on
through the stomach before digestion
can take place, resulting in disorders
in the alimentary canal. Great care
must be exercised not to overfeed the
young calf.
When the calf is weaned from its
mother it is well to let it go eighteen
to twenty-four hours without milk in
order to have it hungry for its first

emphasized the necessity Of allowing
silent fidelity to the highest ideals TO
