The skimmilk differs from the unskim-
med milk only in the amount OF fat 1t
contains. The fat Is not the most i'm
portant part of the milk for the calf.
The protein builds up the muscles,
nerves, hair, hoofs, and horns, while the
ash is used for building the bones. Pro-
tein is the curd Of the milk which is
seen when milk sours. The fat in the
milk does not 90 to form growth In the
animal, but furnishes heat and fat on
the body. A substitute for the fat can
be supplied much cheaper With grains
such as corn. The calf fed on skimmilk
is not generally quite 80 fat during the
first six months of its life as the one
uursed by the COW, but often has better
develo pment of bone and muscle.
The first milk Of the COW after calving
is called colostrum. 1t is important to
feed this milk for q few days at hrst,
since the calf seems to need colostrum
milk to start the organs of digestion
properly. After few days mixed milk
may be given.
In the case the milk Is very rich in fat
it will be best, even with the young calf,
to dilute it with skimmilk, as rich milk
is liable to cause indigestion.
There is some difference In practice re-
garding the time to begin hand feeding.
some do not allow the calf to nurse at
ali. Others prefer to let it nurse once
and some allow it to remain with the
cow three or four days, or until the
fever is out of the udder. When 1t Is
impossible to feed the calf often, 1t is
best to let II remain about two days, as
at fret it will take food often and IN
small amounts. The earlier the calf Is
taken away from the cow the easier II
will be taught to drink milk from a
bucket. II the cows udder is In good
condition 1t is more satisfactory to take
the calf away early, but when the udder
is caked it is best to leave the calf with
the mother for few days.

sKIMMILK CALF JUST AS GOOD

1t Is q we'll established fact that calf
raised on skimmilk is equally as good as
one nursed by its mother. In localities
familiar with dsirying this is we'll under
stood, but in other places it is virtually
unknown, and strong prejudice exists
against feeding skimmilk on account OF
the unhealthy and undersized calves that
have been raised in this way. Such
calves are the victims of ignorance or
carelessness. The skimmilk calf raised
properly differs little, if any, in size,
quality, thrift and value from the same
animal when raised by the COW. The
poor results which have so often follow
ed the feeding of skimmilk have been
due to faulty methods of feeding, and
not because the cream, which has been
taken out, Is of so much importance to
the calf.
Skimmilk does not differ from whole
milk except in butterfat content. The
following figures give the average COM
positiop of each in parts of 100:

The Raising Of Dairy Calves.

The success of the dairy farmer de.
pends to no slight degree upon careful
rearing OF calves. This is especially
true since dairy cows have reached the
present high market price. Most farm
srs begin with ordinary COWS or the best
they can get close at home. As q rule,
this is the best plan to follow. The de-
velopment of high class herd from
these will depend largely upon three
things:
! The careful selection OF individual
cows.
2 The use of a good, purs-bred sire.
3 The careful raising of the heifer
calves from the best cows.
With the high-priced land and expen-
sive feeds the ordinary calf that is valu-
able only for beef cannot be raised
with any profit by allowing IL to nurse
the cow. A calf raised in this way con-
sumes about two gallons of milk per day
for six months, or total of $500 pounds.
If 1t be average milk with percent fat it
contains 112 pounds of butterfat. If
this be counted at the low valuation of
twenty-five cents per pound, which is
less than the average paid by creamer-
les for the last three years, the calf con.
sumes milk worth s24.64 by the time II
is six months old. By milking the COW,
separating the cream and selling 1t to
the creameries this sum may be realized
in cash.

DON'T FEED TOO MUCH

Under natural conditions the calf takes
it's milk frequently and In small qusntl'
ties. The calf's stomach at this time is
small and an excessive amount always
results in indigestion and scoars. FoI
the first two weeks five or six quarts, or
about ten or twelve pounds per day, Ia
ali the largest calf should be allowed to
take. A small calf, as Jersey, does not
need over eight to ten pounds per day
en- the start. This may be fed In two
feeds Der day, or better, in three, for two
or three weeks. As the calf grows old
ar somewhat more milk may be used,
but at no time does it peed over sixteen
or eighteen pounds, or eight or nine
ouarts Der day, but IL is safe and eco-
nomicai to feed as high a. twenty

AT the end of two weeks the strong

The economy Of raising the calf with
skimmilk is apparent. It has been found
by trial that two pounds of grain re-
places one pound of butterfat as food for
the calf. Calves raised on skimmilk
gain an average of one and one-haif
pounds per day up to six months of age.
The dairy calf is ordinarily raised by
hand. since the milk of the dairy COW is
usually worth so much more than the
