TO INSURE HEALTHY CALVES
" Cow Does Not Receive Abundance

Calf Results.

Poorly nOurished cows give birth to
weak, puny calves which are hard to
raise. The feeding of the calf. there
fore, begins before it is born. The food
elements necessary for the develop
ment of the calf are taken into the
stomach of the COW, digested. assimi-
lated and transmitted to the calf
through the umbilical cord, the con-
nection between the mother and the
calf. 1t is evident that If the cow
does not receive food enough to keen
herself in thrifty condition and at the
same time develop her calf, saw spe-
cialists of the United States Depart-
ment Of Agriculture, both she and the
calf must suffer.
In endeavoring to raise good, thrifty
calves many dairymen handicap them
selves at the start by not properlv
feeding the pregnant cows. Such cows
should have an abundance of palatable
and succulent or juicy feed In order TO
insure good body flesh and healthy
thrifty condition at calving time. The
calves will then be well developed.
