FACTS
RULES FOR FEEDING CALVES
Desired Nutrients Furnished by Civ

Sudden Changes

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgricGrure.j
Feeding is an important factor in
developing good breeding animal,
or a favOrite in the show ring. There
are many points to be remembered.
These points may be called rules OF
feeding, among which specialists OF
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture give the following:
l. Provide a variety of feeds at all
times, if possible. 1t is easier to sup
ply the proper amounts Of the desired
nutrients which the calf needs il
several different feeds are used. The
ration will also be more palatable.
2. Do not make sudden changes in
the feeds used or in the amounts CIV
en-. If it becomes necessary to change
feeds from. say. clover to alfalfa hay.

Beef cattle on farms lost in average

United States in the World war and

This has been established beyond DOUBT
by the recent annual investigation of
prices of farm animals per head made
by the bureau. The average price per
head, all ages, of cattle other than
milk cows was 1852 in 1917, $44.22 in
1919, and $3l. Al in 1921. On January

1918, and two-thir,ls Of the decline

From 1916 to 1919. the average farm
value Of the product of corn per acre
increased from $21.67 to 1854. The
corn crop of 1920, taking the average
value Of the product of one acre, fell
to $2O.93, and this drop not only wiped
out the gain of the preceding three
years but perceptibly exceeded it. The

Turkeys are probably the natural
hosts Of the gapeworm-a serious pest
among young chickens-and are an
important factor in their spread. This
has been demonstrated by a BIOLOGIST
Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture as the result Of expert
ments and other investigations carried
on at Washington, u. G., and on farms
In several localities in Maryland.
Many Turkeys Harbor oapeworns.
During three winter seasons begin

No gapeworms were found in the

feed part clover and part alfalfa for
a few days. Gradually reduce the
amount Of clover and at the same time
increase the alfalfa.
3. Do not overfeed the calf. Feed as
much grain as it will clean up in 80
minutes and wish it lad just a little
more. Feed left in the trough to be
breathed over is worse than wasted.
If any remains it should be removed
and less given the next time. Digestive
disorders occur from feeding too much
rather than too little.
T. Do not underfeed the calf. 1t
should make a continuous gain. IL
it does not grow each day the feed
given it is about the same as wasted.
1t never pays to starve a calf. In
fact. the calf does not begin to pay
for feed until it is given more than
enough to make some gain.
5. Do not annoy or disturb the calf
unnecessarily. 1t requires more feed
to keep it growing while standing or
moving about than while lying down
at rest.
g. Do not feed molly. musty, or
spoiled feeds. TO do SO may cause
serious digestive disorders. All hays
should be bright. we'll cured, and free
from muStiness. dirt and coarse weeds.
The grain also should be free from
dirt. mold and muStineSS. Ii ground
feeds get wet they are likely to mold.
This is especially true of cOttOnSeed
meal and ground corn.
Z. DO not waste time in feeding the
calf, or in preparing feed. since wasted
| time ncedleSsly increases the cost OF
gains. Grain should be fed whole ex-
cept when teaching the calf to eat and
possibly also near the end of the fit
ting or finishing period. Whole grain
as Il rule is more palatable than ground
feeds. Ear corn may be shelled,
broken, or chopped up in the feed box
rather than ground. Husks on snapped
corn need not be removed for this pur-
pose. 1t rarely pays to shred slower
or to cut or chaff hay for the calf.
1t need not he fed three times a day
though the former may be practiced
when fitting the animal for show or
sale. Do not go to the expense of buy
