THE CARE OF THE DAIRY CALF By W. F. Taylor The dairy calf should be developed for the purpose ' for which she was born into the world. It is highly im- portant that this purpose should be in the mind of the man who cares for Her. One reason why so many men fail in the proper growing of their calves is that they do not realize their possibili- ties. Many calves are not worth feed- ing; the best feeder in the world could not make profitable cows of them. The first demand on behalf of the dairy calf is that it should be well born, but if the breeding is right, then It is deserving of good care, and the higher appreciation its owner has of its possibilities the better he is prepar- ed to do justice by it along all pos- sible lines of development. Whole Milk Essentnal The calf should first have whole milk. It has been proven beyond any question that no other fat in the World except that found in eggs will take the place of the fat in milk. If the milk is very rich, however, a little skim-milk may be added from the first and in any event after two or three weeks the new milk may be fradually substituted with skim-milk, t is best, however, to give a little new milk in the ration untu the calf is six or eight weeks old. Many men are in- clined to give too much skim-milk. There is a great difference in the oats, too, are excellent, wheat bran and middlings are both good. In fact, as we have said, nearly all the grains grown on the farm are adapted to this purpose. Best Roughage For Calf By the time the calf is six \yeeks old, we may begin to feed ensilage, very gradually at first, using care to see that it is free from mold. In a little while the calf will be able to con. sume quite a quantity of ensilage and the amount will increase as time ad- vances. The grain fed to the calf should always depend in some degree ujwn the kind of roughage consumed. There is no better roughage than al- falfa hay. It is easily digested. The leaves of the alfalfa seem to contain a principle indispensable in the de- velopment of the young animals and not present in other roughage, but alfalfa hay alone is not good for a calf. Taken in connection with skim- milk the ration is too narrow, that is to say, the amount of protein as re- lated to thft carbohydrates and fat is in excess of the demands of the animal. This condition is corrected by the feeding of ensilage and grain like corn, rich in carbohydrates. Keep Claves Growing • Now these calves, should be kept growing all the time. They should not amount of milk that different calves ' be crowded like calves designed for Ydti may be deceived II some day by an imitation of mm n B114 and possibly you will not detect this imitation until the tea-pot reveals itt Demand always the genuine "Salada" in the sealed aluminum packet, ai^^ see that you get it. if you want that unique flavour of fresh, clean leaves properly prepared and packed.

Drinking SA)fY£S All the boys felt eagerly in their pockets. Their hands brought out almost everything except money. While the others were hunting for money, Dannie had run to the grating and was on his knees, peering down through it. Then he jumped up, and his eyes were shining. "I see it. Miss Stuart," he cried, comes constant care should be exer- cised. Almost any of the grains grown on the farm are good for a calf. There is nothing better than corn and the calf will eat it whole quite as well as in any other way. Indeed, I have seen calves shell corn from the ear, eat' It and thrive as well as any calves could. If we wish to feed it in that way, there can be no objection to it whatever. Experiments demonstrat- ed that there is great loss in the feed- ing of whole com to older cattle, but the loss was very slight when the individual cow to see that she is not, over-fed. At the same time weigh] and test the milk that we may know what she is actually doing and thus be able to feed her enough to produce the milk and maintain her body. j Now, this is tho theory, the success in its application will depend upon the man. "The longer I live, and the more I see of dairies, the more do I value the individual man in the success of any program of development. It is a great thing to be able to develop a dairy.

I ve thought of gum again. i ° "Dannie Luce!" she exclaimed. "Take out that gum this instant!" Dannie promptly obeyed. He look- ed and felt very sheepish as he did so, for all the other pupils smiled, and some of them giggled aloud. But He did not throw the gum into the waste- basket. He tucked it carefully into a pocket for use after school. \ When the closing bell finally rang, most of the pupils promptly hurried homeward . Three or four boys â€" Dannie .imong themâ€" -were slower in starting than the others, and they were lingering near the door when Miss Stuart came out. She had an errand to do and waa in a hurry to catch a car on the avenue near by. As she came down the steps she took a coin from her purse; but she was in such a hurry that the coin slipped from her hand and rolled through a grating in the sidewalk. .Miss Stuart gave a little cry. "That was all the money I had with me," she said, "and I must go downtown! Will a way! He ran back into the schoolhouse and brought out a long pointer from one of the blackboards. And what do you suppose he did next? Miss Stuart opened her"~eyes wide as she watched him. He took from his poc- ket the forbidden piece of gum, wet it in his mouth and stuck it on the small end of the pointer. Then he lay flat on the iron grating and push- ed the pointer, with the gum on the end of it, far down into the hole below. .An instant later he pulled the pointer carefully back again â€" and there was Miss Stuarts' coin sticking to the gum. How they all applauded, and laugh- ed, too, and Miss Stuart loudest of all, as she thanked Dannie and praised him for his quick wit. But Dannie could not help saying, "And now you see. Miss Stuart, how lucky it is for you that I chew gum!" "Yes," laughed the teacher as she started toward the avenue, "but in school hours keep it in your pocket one of you boys lend me five cents till where it will be handy for such uses to-morrow?" as this." - More Veterinary Notes. •Quidding"' of hay, or pain (tooth- mouth (bar) between the first incisor and the first moinr tooth, may be in- jured by the Ijit in young or hard- mouthed horses.
