CARING FOR SPRING CALVES
Tcs,ng Animals Should Be Chartered
in Clean Shed or Lot and
Given Proper Feed.

Dairy calves should be kept in a
soiean shed or lot and fed regularly,
sccording to A. G. Baer, professor of
dairy husbandry at Oklahoma A. and
NJ. college. He suggests the following
feeding schedule:
First week-Feed three times a day
of mothers milk.
Second week--Feed three times a
day Of whole milk.
Third week-Feed three times a day
but substitute One-third skim milk.
Fourth week-Feed two or three
times day; one-half skim milk Reg
ulate the amount of milk to the size
and vigor of the calf.
After the fourth or fifth week all
skim milk can be fed and a little
grain, ground oats, corn, barley, and a
Hitr1e BRAN Baer says. 'Tet them eat
some good hay, as much as they can
eat.
CsIlves can be kept on pasture, but
should receive some grain and hay I'm
addition. TO prevent scOurs, all
buckets and cans must be kept clean.
THE shed or lot should also be cleaned
regularly"

A Good Pasture to Range Over Pro-
vides the Best Exercise for the
Breeding Flock.

quirement for pregnant ewes and 1t
should be used when the price is right.
However, a quarter-pOund along with
other feeds containing protein may be
better than one containing a larger
amount of cOttonseed meal.
Exercise for the eve in winter is
necessary if strong lambs are to be
produced. They can be induced to
take exercise by scattering their feed
over the ground which will induce
them to do a great deal of walking.
Another way is to do the feeding some
distance from the shelter. Winter
pasture will, Of course, solve the prob
lem Of exercise. But the flock ought
not to be out In rain or wet snow, as q
wet fleece Is frequent cause of colds
and pneumonia. A sheep will shake
off dry snow and be none the worse
for having been out In a storm.
Present conditions should be no dis
cOuragement to person who thinks
Of starting a flock, for the man who
succeeds with live stock Is the one
who goes In and stays in through fat
years and lean. Perhaps 1t Is better
to go In when prices are low, for then
1t costs less for foundation stock.
1t is doubtful whether a man should
start keeping sheep unless his farm
will allow the keeping Of at least 30
ewes. and In most cases 60 or more
will be handled better and more eco
nomically than very small flock. Old
ewes should be discarded at five years
of age. When this Is done and the
poorest of the eve lambs are sold
flock will ordinarily double In size in
three years.

ECONOMICAL FEED FOR COWS
Quantity Of Grain Required by Anil
NAL Depends on Her Size and
Milk Capacity.

Silage, fodder, shredded stover or
sudan and millet hay may be depend
ed upon for supplying carbohydrate
roughness. The quantity Of grain the
COW requires depends upon her size
and capacity as milk producer. The
most economical feeding results when
COWS are fed as individuals. II isn't
always possible TO do this on the busy
farm; but sufficient attention may be
given each animal to see that she re-
'ceives the right proportion Of feed for
maintaining her milk flow.

TREATING STERILITY IN cow
Most Cases Become Chronic or Perna.
nent Unless Properly Handled
by Veterinarian.

In many herds where abortion dis
ease is present, from five to ten per
cent of the cows become sterile or bar
rem, and most cases become chronic
Or permanent unless they are treated
by qualified veterinarian. Dr. w. l..
Williams of the New York State Vet
erinary college is to be given credit
for the plan of procedure in handling
these cows. The treatment should not
be neglected too long after the cows
manifest this symptom.
A thorough examination of the pa
tient is necessary to locate the trou-
bic either in the uterus, ovaries or
fallOpian tubes, and treated accord
iEgly. 1t Is not uncommon for skilled
operator to restore five out Of six cases
to reproductive state under favor
able conditions.
Cases Of long standing should be
sold to the butcher, as the treatment
fails to help them. A case of more
than eight months to one years
standing Is very discOuraglng to the
operator, for he realizes that function
al changes have taken place in the
reproductive organs that will be diff
cult to correct by treatment. There
fore do not delay having an animal
examined and treated in the beginning
Of the trouble instead Of waiting until
1t is too late. The annual loss caused
by sterilty would be surprisingly high
If survey could be made and accurate
data obtained from the cattle breeders.

RATION MUST BE ATTRACTIVE
Dairy Cow to Do Well Requires Feed
Containing Proper Elements
for Milk Flow.

Cows won't do we'll on food that
isn't palatable, say the feeding men
at the New York College of Agricul-
ture at Ithaca. Not only must the
dairy cows ration contain the proper
elements If she Is to be "worth her
keep. but it must be so attractive to
her that she will eat plenty and keep
up a good flow Of milk.
On the other hand, say the dairy
men, IL isn't wise to change ration
suddenly even to make 1t better. A
COW Is a delicate milk-producing ma
chine. and sudden changes in her food
are quite likely to upset some part Of
the machinery, with a resulting loss Of
milk
The condition of the food probably
has most to do with its pa!atablity {;
moldy grains or roughage don't appeal
to any self-respecting COW.
