If you've been havin.g trouble growing ealves, nxaybe - one of them will answer your needs. Start with the freshening cow. When you judge her ta be withln 24 hours of calving, 3nove her into a box stali or some other area away fromn other cows. It might pay ta mnake cure the stail is draft FAIN SERVICE DEAD,.

Tlharoughly scrub and disin- fect the stall. If you'ré usmng a 1% lye solution, dissolve a 13 ounce can in about a quart of cold water and add 8 gallons ai hot water to the mixture. A cresol or chlorie disinfectant and washing powder wwrn do a good job taa. Try ta be around the stable when the cal! arrives in case you're needed ta help deliver it. Wipe off 4ny mucus froni the cali's nose and mouth ta prevent suffocation, and alter- nately compress and relax the chest walls if the cal! doesn't start breathing immediately. Rub the cal! dry with burlap if it is born during cold wea- ther. Squeeze the material out of the attached navel cord and paint the cord end wîth a tinc- turc of iodine ta prevent infec- tion. Be sure ta rémove ail the ex- peled membranes and soiled bedding fromn the stail immedi- ately. And wu&h the cowus ud- der and teats with a chiorinel solution before thie esI begins ta nurse. wiat about feedingP Make sure the cal! gets colostrumn for the first 3 days or until the cow's milk la ready for human use. Watch your good oows. If she ia producing more colos- trum or first milk than the cal! needs, feed some of the extra ta calves from lower-producing dams. But watch you don't over feed either the colostrum or milk--calf scours might resuit. For larger breeds stick with 6 ta 8 pounds of wthole milk daily; srnaller breeds take 4 ta 6 paunds. A good rule of thumb is ta feed 1 pound of milk for each 10 pounds of cal!. High butterfat milk can be diluted with one-third warm water to prevent scouring. Some other ideas: Try individual calf pens for the first fcw weeks. These stop navel and udder sucking and also help prevent the spreadi of disease. Sucking can cause dcformed, mastitis - producing udders at an early age. Remove extra teats when thel calf is 4 to 6 weeks bld. Stretch the teat and snip it off with a clean, sharp pair of scissors and treat with a tincture afi odine. Guard against Bang's disease by getting your veterinarian ta vaccinate the calves when they're 4 ta 6 months old. * NEWS FROM HFC: Bigger lbans for today's greater needs Borrow up to $2500 and take up to 36 months to repay Compare HFC's service wlth Ébat of other Iendlng Institutions SURPRISINGLY LOW INTEREST RATES.

To assure availabiity of spare parts ta meet the needs and tempo of present day farming the process of controlling _the supply and dis- Down On the Farm Bigger farina and fewer farmers are bound ta mean changes in the Canadian rural market but not by any means a shrixxkage in total industrial goods con- sumed by that market. A survey by the National Industrial Conference Board in the U.S., where the trend toward larger faris l a few years in advance of Canada, shows a very sub- stantial increase in farin purchasing pow- er, according ta The Financial Post. The conference board reports: "Since the late thirties, the number of persans living on farms (in the U.S.) has dropped by about one-third, f rom 31 million to- 21 million, and the number of farms has fallen by a fourth, fromn 6.5 million ta 4.7 million. Despite this drastic shrinkage, farmers last year bought about $40 billion worth of producers' and con- sumers' goods and services, compared with an annual average of around $11.5 billion during the years 1937-41. Valued' at 1958 prices, total expenditures for production and family living averaged about $20 bil- lion i 1937-41. Hence, in real terms, f armers bought about 50% more last year than 20 years ago." The explanation is simple. Larger farms flot only mean far more revenue per farmer but also more mna- chinery and other equipment and more working capital ta operate them. One of the main troubles of the sinail farm unit today is that it simply isn't large enough ta be able ta use the most efficient large- scale machinery. Its costs are too high. It la like the village cobbler of the last century praducing one or two pairs of shoes a day trying ta ecompete with the modern factory turning out hundreda an hour. i9. Codding the Cows Only a few generations ago, man had ta bed down on an uncomfortable arrange- ment of rope "springs" and horsehair mat- tress. Lucky indeed was the householder with a feather tickmng. But times have changed for man- and for beast. And, if anything, the beast is making faster progress toward com- plete comfort. Proof of the matter: An English cattleman now has his cattle sleeping on foam rubber mattresses tastefully covered by an envelope of strong plastic. It saves labor -the mattresses are quickly hosed down every morning. It saves money-straw la hard ta get'and increasingly expensive because modern field machinery doesn't leave behind as much straw as the old-fashioned thresh- ing machine. An it makes for contented cows. Now they neyer get out of the wrong side of the bed.-Financial Post.
