SUCCESS OF DAIRYMAN
MUCH DEPENDS UPON CAREFUL
REARING or CALVES.
Where Valuable Animals Are Raised
It ls Advisable When Possible TO
Have Separate Pens for Them
and Feed In etanchion.

The success Of the dairy farmer
depends to no slight extent upon the
careful rearing OF the calves. This is
especially true since dairy cows have
reached their present high market
price. Most farmers begin with ordi-
nary cows or the best they can get
close at home. AS a rule this Is the
best plan to follow. The development
of high class herd from these will
depend largely upon three things:
1. The careful selection Of indi-
vidual cows.
2. The use OF q pure bred sire.
3. The careful raising OF the heif-
er calves from the best COWS.
The COW should be in good flesh
at calving time for the best results
in milk. She should be dry six weeks.
During the pasturing season there is
no better plan than to leave her in
the pasture, Of course under observa-
ton, until the calf is born.
The dairy calf is ordinarily raised
by hand since the milk of the dairy
COW is usually worth so much more
than the calf that It requires the first
consideration. 1t is well established
fact that a calf raised on skim milk
is as good as one nursed by its moth
er. In localities familiar with dairy
ing this is well understood, but in 9TH
er places is virtually unknown, and a
strong prejudice exists against feed
ing skim milk on account of the I'M
healthy and understood calves that
have been raised in this way. Such
calves are the victims of ignorance
or carelessness. The skim milk calf
properly raised differs little. if any,
In size, quality, thrift, and value from
the same animal when raised by the
COW.
While the question as to whether
calves should be dropped in the fall
or spring may be decided by special
} conditions, on the whole, fall calves
have superior advantages. They come
at such a time that work is not ur-
gent and they can have the best at
tention Of the farmer or dairyman.
The disadvantages of winter feeding
are more than Offset by hot weather
and annoyance from flies. The fall
calf is weaned in the spring and can
be put on grass without further at
tention, while the spring calf goes on
dry feed when weaned. For the first
three months it does not matter mate
rally whether calves are eating hay
or pasture, but the second six months
they will do better on grass than any
other ration. Ordinarily the COW
