THE PREVENTION
or CALF DISEASES

Due to the fact that the unborn cali
makes rapid growth during the eight
weeks prior to birth he who would
breed and develop good cattle should
turn the mother dry at the beginning
of this period. writes Hugh q. van
Pelt in Kimbalrs Dairy Farmer.
When dry he should begin feeding her
well of foods rich in mineral matter
or ash and protein, for these are the
nutrients from which the mother
makes muscle, blood, bone, cart1lag-
nous material and hair OF these, In
addition to water, the youngster Is al

In addition to liberal and regular

Never take it for granted that disease
