Various roughages. all OF which
were grown on the farm, were fed.
The corn fodder, usually shredded.
was fed in the early winter together
with clover hay, and later in the
spring oat straw was given instead of
the corn fodder.
The following summer the calves
were given good bluegrass pasture
and In addition a liberal grain ration.
The ration was not changed in compo-
sition from that previously fed. When
the grass was In the flush of growth
the grain ration was somewhat de
creased. During the entire grass sea
son personal attention was given to

found that each calf had eaten from
81 to 80 bushels of corn, valued at
$500; bushels of oats at $40; cot
ton seed meal, $3.50; grass, $40 hay
and fodder, $40, which, together with
the cost of keeping the COW and the

ton Of about $75. Our young stock
varied in price from $6.76 to So q

$3.50. which gave US a cash value OF
about $96 head. This, left a total

SELECTING GOOD
DAIRY ANIMALS
Systematic Plan Of Examining
Calves Needed to Bring Herd
Improvement.
cry w. NJ. KELLY

Many dairymen make a practice Of
raising every heifer calf and fail to get
results. Then they select the heifer
calves from the best producing cows
and get nearer to what they want, but
still, there are many inferior cows
raised by them.
1t Is not until we begin to carefully
examine every heifer calf that we can
conduct any systematic plan of i'm
proving the quality of the dairy herds,
for, unless the calves are good indi-
viduals and have stamina and strong.
vigorous constitutions, no matter how
literally they are fed, some will
fail to come up to the qualities of their
dams.
Every heifer calf should be care
fully examined and if they show signs
of weakness they should not be raised
Open their mouths. and If you find,
after examining their teeth, that you
can see but fur of the milk teeth, you
can make UP your mind that such a
calf is hardly worth raising
Many raise their calves. but few turn
out to be profitable cows. Next ex-
anime the navel and teats. If the
teats are not placed in their right
position do not waste your time and
food trying to make a good COW out
OF such calf.
When we find heifer calf that
comes up tc our standard or require
ments and when we decide to keep it
we must no< forget that its value as
COW depends Largely upon the treat
ment that il receives during the first
two years OF its life. z
Calves must be well cared for and
fed in such a manner that they VIII
never lose their calf flesh.
After they are a few months old
they should be turned out and allowed
plenty Of exercise and good air SO that
they may build UP strong muscles and
good strong organs OF respiration.
