DAIRY
QUARTERS FOR DAIRY CALVES
To Prevent Dumping and Jostling of
Young Animals Small Pens
Should Be Provided.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Small calves should not be bumped
and jostled about. An easy way to
prevent this is to provide small pens,
not less than four by six feet in size.
In each of which calf may be kept
for the first two weeks. The pens
should be fitted with feed boxes for
grain and racks for hay. After the
calf is old enough to run with the
others it is placed with them in a
larger pen. Sanctions are fixed on
one side of this pen to provide for the
separate feeding of the calves, so as
to insure that each receives it's proper
care. Racks for hay should also be
placed within easy reach of the calves.
Too much emphasis cannot be laid
upon the necessity of having light, dry
quarters for the calves. Bedding al
ways should be abundant and should
be changed often, in order that the
pen always may be dry. Lack of at
tention to these matters is very likely
to allow the development of the vari-
Gus calf diseases.
After the calf is a few weeks old, il
can stand considerable cold if it is
kept dry and has dry quarters. Pro-
vision also should be made to allow
the calves plenty of exercise. A small
paddock or pasture adjoining the calf
stables is excellent for this purpose.
Except for the very young ones, calves
may be let out in the exercise lot for
a short period each day when the
weather is not too cold or stormy.
If the calves are kept together in
large pen it is very difficult to feed
them by hand unless they are tied
When they are loose the milk often is

spilled, and the larger calves get
part of the smaller ones share. Very
simple stanehions may be constructed
to prevent losses of milk and insure
the equal distribution of the feed. To
prevent the calves from sucking one
another they should be kept in the
stanchions for some time after feeding.
A calf stanchion may be constructed
of cheap or scrap lumber. 1t is usu-
ally SO to 40 inches high and has a
four-inch space for the calf's head.

Help Save Sheep.

The dog rightfully holds a strong
place in the minds and affections of
men. The owner of a good dog finds
in him a most faithful friend. But 1t
sometimes happens that the dog most
highly esteemed Is also one that kills
and worries the most sheep and is the
most cunning in obscuring the evil
dences of his guilt. A well-bred dogs
habit of lying innocently asleep in the
front yard during the daytime is not
proof that the same dog does not kill
sheep at night. Because of the eco
uonlic loss ocCasiOned by Sheep-killing
dogs, and because such dogs bring the
whole of their kind into bad repute
the true admirers and friends of this
animal should help to further any
steps likely TO result in the Limitation
of the activity of these discrediting
members of noble race. One of the
most practicable methods of accom-
plishing this result seems to be to
place upon dogs such tax as will re-
duce the number of superluous ones
and result in fewer being kept by per-
sons who cannot or will not give them
the attention necessary to prevent the
formation of HABITS and associo tons
that lead to sheep killing
