You say: How do you know
that' II YOU ask the calf, it will
jell you. If yuu give it chance
to eat some nice clover hay, and it
nibbles at that, this means that it
IS getting its digestive apparatus
in order for that sort of feed. If
you will carefully sprinkle some
oatmeal or cotnmeal around where
it can get at it, it will nibJle at
that That's calf language and
if you have brains in your head,
you should understand it.
After a while, you can take off
he cream altogether, if you wish;
but you must replace it by some
substitute. You have reduced the
fats, and you must restore them in
some way, or your calf won't
thrive. If you have some ground
flaXseed-not oil meal, but faxseed
that's probably the best thing
you can use. Or you can use some
cprnmeal or cornmeal and oat-
meal mixed. But don't put this
in the bucket with the milk. Give
it to'the calf dry.
A good deal of your success will
depend on the affection you may
develop in the bosom of the calf
for you. If he looks upon you as
enemy, he will not thrive. If he
looks upon you as his friend, he
will take on fat. [ can tell YOU
how to be looked upon as friend
by every living creature on the
farm: lust scratch them where
they can't scratch Themselves.
This friendship will be worth
something to you, not merely as a
matter Of sentiment, but in dollars
