BEST DEVELOPMENT OF CALF
Good supply OF MIX or skim MIX
Most important--ouantity De-
ponds on Size and Age.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.l
No part of dairy farming Is more es-
sential than the proper feeding Of
young calves. Likewise nothing is
more important for the best develop
ment of calves than a good supply of
milk and skim milk In the ration. In
the past few years the surplus of these
products has been utilized as human
food In the form of condensed and
powdered milk and skim milk. Re-
ports recently received by the United
States Department of Agriculture, how
ever, point to temporary surplus of
these products during the flush season,
due to decreased export outlet. I'm
til this situation is adjusted, 1t would
seem advisable to utilize the surplus
milk and skim milk as feed for live
stock.
In raising dairy calves most dairy
men prefer that the calf remain with
the COW for the first 48 hours. IL 1t
Is taken away then the COW will be
less nervous when she begins to be
MIXED again for commercial purposes
than II they are allowed to run to-
gether for long period.
1t is desirable that the calf be In
thrifty, vigorous condition when it is
taught to drink. 1t may be left with
out food for IL hours, at the end of
which time it will be hungry, and with
a little teaching will usually drink
milk from the pail. Warm, fresh milk
from the mother should be put in q
clean pail and held near the floor in
front Of the cali, which will generally
begin to nose about the pail Once it
gets taste Of milk, 1t will usually
drink without further trouble. Sonse-
times, however, more vigorous meas
ures must be taken.
The quantity of milk fed to calf
depends upon it's size and age, and to
some extent on the kind and condition
OF the feed, but experiments by the
Department of Agriculture indicate
that about one pound a day should
be fed for every ten pounds weight of
the calf at birth. Many beginners
make the mistake of letting the calf
have as much milk as it wants. This
would be all right if the calf were fed
every two or three hours, as when 1t |
runs with the COW, but as it Is i'm
practicable ordinarily to feed more
than two or three times day, it is
best to keep the quantity we'll below
the capacity of the calf and not risk |
overlooking.
For the first four days milk from the |
dam should be fed. After this the
milk may be from any cow or cows in

hire an automobile.
In the course of his celebration he
asked lady whom he met I'm the
street, IL she would kindly be his
mother for day. He meant well
but the lady being younger than
Hiram and not accustomed to such
familiarity from strangers, Cid not

They fled from each other. Soon,
Hiram bought big custard pie In
bake-shop and had 1t cut into small
fsh pieces and, having purchased pie
and plate, went out upon the street
with 1t. He ate what he wanted of
the pie and generously offered the
rest OF 1t to sundry people who passed
him. 1t was not impertinence in
Hiram: IL was pure generosity--a de-

Il happened that Mr.. ]. Patterson

hammer whack ~ his voice which
aroused bitter memories in the mind
of Hiram.
That tone was a great piece of i'm.
prudence. There was menacing
gesture and rapid succession of
footsteps on the pavement. Mr.. Bing,s
retreat was not, however, quite swift
enough to save him. The pie landed
ON his shoulder. In moment, Hiram
was arrested and marching toward
the lookup while Mr.. Bing went to
the nearest drug store to be cleaned
and secured.
A few days later Hiram Blenkinsop
arrived in Bingville. Mr.. Singleton
met him on the street and saw to
his deep regret that Hiram had been
drinking.
I've made up my mind that re.

"Why not?" the minister asked.
