DIFFICULT HABIT TO REMEDY
Only Way to Stop Calves Of Sucking
Each Others Ears Is to Keep
Them Separated.
By r. q. ERs

By r. G. wEATHERSTONE.)
One of the most difficult habits to
overcome In a bunch Of young calves
is that of ear sucking. When we feed
calves milk from a pail they eat so
rapidly that they fail to relieve the
mouth OF the saliva which naturally
mixes with its mothers milk while it
Is sucking.
In order to relieve their mouths of
this secretion which their organs of
digestion demand they will seek some
thing to suck which will relieve their
mouths of the saliva which has been
retained to a large extent and their
favorite object is the ear of the calf
next to them.
Unless this is prevented the calf is
likely to grow up with the habit of
sucking itself when 1t comes to be a
milk-producer or sucking the other
cows in the herd.
The only way to prevent this vicious
habit is to tie each calf by itself until
digestive organs have developed suf-
dciently to enable it to digest grain
food, such as ground oats and wheat
bran.
Then they will eat dry bran and
ground oats and in that way relieve
their mouths Of this saliva. After
this they may be turned together and
there is little danger OF their acquiring
the habit.

Hog-Loading Chute.

some kind of axle are used to make q
truck placed about the center Of the
chute SO that it may be easily moved
from place to place. These wheels are
of such a height or so placed that they
take a proportionate part of the
weight when the chute is in place. Be-
ing of this width it barely fits into the
wagon box when the endgate is out,
leaving no place for hogs to get out by
the side of it. Instead Of letting the
stills project far enough to engage the
wagon box, two iron straps may be
used having the ends bent and sharp
ened SO as to catch in the wood of the
box and prevent slipping.
