no NOT let anyone deceive you by

bring you as much money as weth-

dip the lambs too, as the ticks will leave
the shorn ewes for the woody lambs.
just as long as a eve "holds her

quite an advanced age.

= recommended because, with some

Feeding twice day will bring better

Pend the day in the STALL and for two

out into the yard, or giving them ac-

Livestock and Dairy
Knowing the Market Demands and Raising Stock to Meet H.
Demand For Veal Increasing
"o' the surplus Dairy Calves Slaughtered but Thousands
Of Beef Calves

exports nearly ceased, but the packers
that they may provide cheaper meat
are now buying many cattle that were
formerly fed. The farmers who form.
erly bought nearly finished cattle as
feeders have been compelled to pay
higher prices for such cattle or to take
thinner animals.
The cattle-feeding business has
changed greatly during recent years.
Formerly steers from four to six years
|of age were fed in large numbers on
commercial feed at yards near granaries
|or mills, or upon large farms where
only the roughage was grown, and the
cattle were kept on full feed for six
months or longer. This method became
too expensive, so feeding is now con-
dueted upon farms as a means of mar
keting farm products by converting
them into beef, while the manure pro,
duced is utilized as by-product for
maintaining fertility.

Sour Skim Milk For Calves
unnecessary to Go to the Expense of Keeping Milk Sweet in
the Hot Summer Months

with disease producing bacteria. Farm
ers should therefore allow the milk te
sour quickly and then feed it without
delay.
In the course Of these experiments
sour skim milk was fed to % calves
Holsteins, Jerseys and Guernseys, at
different seasons of the year. In no
case did it cause digestive disturb
ances even when the change from sweet
to sour milk was made abruptly when
the calves were only a few days old.
Moreover no evil results followed the
alternate use Of sweet and sour. II
seems, therefore, that the common idea
that sour milk leads to scours is quite
unfounded.
The calves, it was found, did not like
the sour milk as we'll as the sweet. but
in the majority Of cases soon became
accustomed to it. The aversion, how.
ever, increased when the milk was fed
them at low temperature.

to many farmers who have hitherto
been kept from raising calves by the
expense of keeping the milk sweet in
hot weather. This expense, experiments
carried out by the department indicate
to be quite unnecessary. The calves will
make as rapid gains on sour skim milk.
In winter, it is true, this is not quite
so satisfactory. 1t chills the calves and
some of them drink it with great re.
luetance. Very young calves have even
been known to refuse it altogether. On
