E. b. Wild To Improve The Breeding
of His Fine Herd of HOIsteins.


1t should be of unusual interest tc
breeders of Holstein cattle in this To-
cality to learn that E. B. Wild of East
Barnet has purchased and will have
at the head of his herd after Jan. 20
the splendid young bull, King Korn-
dyke Maid, one of the finest bulls OF
the breed.
His sire is Pontiac Korndyke, the
greatest sire of high record cows the
world has ever produced. He has 12O
daughters in the Advanced Registry
four of which have produced over SO
pounds of butter in seven days, and 2S
have records that average over 80
pounds in seven days. A record that
is not approached by the daughters OF
any other bull.
His daughters, and also the daugh-
terS of his greatSOnS have almost with
out exception shown over 40 butter
fat on official test and this is the high
est testing family of the Holstein
breed.
The sons of Pontiac Korndyke stand
at the head of the greatest herds in
the world and have maintained the
reputation of their greatsire wherever
they have been given a chance. They
include King of the Pontiacs who has
16O A. r. o. daughters; (more than
any other bull) including K. P. Ponti-
&C Lass, who made over A pounds of
butter in seven days, and holds al
worlds records for seven, thirty, sixty
ninety and one hundred days.
Another greatson of Pontiac Korn-
dyke is Pontiac Aaggie Korndyke, who
has II daughters that have each made
over 80 pounds of butter in seven
days. This number is not equalled by
any other bull. Another son is Rag
Apple Korndyke, who has sired one
daughter with a record of over 81
pounds of butter in seven days, and is
also the sire of Rag Apple Korndyke
Sth who sold for $4,000; the highest
price ever paid for a bull at auction
King Korndyke Maid is equally vel
bred on his dams side; she having
produced 33A pounds of butter in
seven days, showing an average of over
$50 fat for the week. This record is
not equalled by the dam of any other
bull in Maine. New Hampshire or Yer
mont. She is a daughter of the great
Pontiac Korndyke, and a close de-
scendant of the worlds record cow
Alta Pasch, and Paul Beets De Kol
who has over 100 A. r. o. daughters
Besides being wonderfully we'll bred
King Korndyke Maid is one of the
finest individual specimens of the
breed; being almost faultlessly built
and weighing 2115 pounds at three
years of age. He will make a splendid
addition to Mr.. Wild's fine herd and
should prove a great benefit to breed
ers of Holstein cattle in this locality

HOW TO FEED A CALF
Good Breeding is Worthless If Proper
Care is Lacking.

Proper care is essential for the dairy
calf and COW. The calf, regardless OF
the good breeding it may have, will
not develop and give the best results
unless proper attention is given from
the time it is born. Too frequently
the young calf during its first few
weeks of its life is not given the OPP
portunity to develop as it should. TIC
do this requires proper feeding, pro-
per feed and clean surroundings. The
following suggestions are made from
the Weekly News letter.
Immediately after birth the navel
of the calf should be washed with an
antiseptic solution and tied with a silk
thread in order to prevent infection
For the first feed the calf should have
the first milk from the COW after calv-
ing and should have it's mothers milk
for several feeds thereafter. The soon
er the weaving takes place the better
but ordinarily it should not be post
poned later than the fourth day. When
first fed from the pail, to 10 pounds
of milk a day. fresh and warm from
the COW and divided into two feeds
are sufficient. At all times the utmost
care should be taken to prevent any
digestive disorder, as all such trouble
AhC 6AON III anu Nv ~ RA@A~--
of the animal.
The amount of milk fed can be
gradually increased until at the end
of the second week the calf receives
from IA to 16 pounds of milk a day
At this time the gradual substitution
of skim milk for whole milk may be-
gin. Hay and grain should be placed
before the calf at this period, and ii
will be found to nibble at them lit
tie. At the end of the third week the
substitution of the skim milk will be
complete. BY slow changes the milk
can be increased thereafter until 20
pounds a day are fed; this amount will
be found sufficient when fed with the
grain and hay. IF skim milk is plen-
tiful more may be fed, but the added
amount will not give proportionately
better results.
Corn meal, bran and oil meal, mix
ed in the proportion of three, two and
one. make an excellent grain mixture.
This grain when fed with plenty of
fine clover hay makes an ideal supple
ment to skim milk in balancing the
ration. Calves should be allowed all
the grain that they will eat until they
consume three pounds a day; from
this point the feeder should use his
Judgment as to whether an increase Is
justified.
