LATIMER {in the wR ANY WI C1 WU How to Feed and Handie the Young Arrival. pu Dam's Milk the Best First Food --Skimmilk Should Gradually Replace Whole Milk -- Grass or | Stable for Calves? ; (Contributed by Ontario Department ot | Agriculture, Toronto.) ~~ HE calf that comes in the spring, comes just at a time when everybody is so busy getting ' the spring work done that he is very liable to be reg- lected to a certain extent. Young calves are very susceptible to disease com on to young cattle and a little lack of attention to spring calves is liable ' to cause serious trouble to them. i There are two menaces to calves extreme heat and flies, and one is on a par with the other. Arrangements should be made whereby the calves are kept in during the day and al- lowed to run out in 4 paddock at night. By this means they are afforded a liberal amount of exercise and good pure fresh air, and' also they are allowed to get some of the nice juicy green grass, which is the nearest thing to a complete and bal- anced ration that can be found out- side of milk. When the calf is dropped it may be well to leave it with the dam for a few hours in order that it may get the first milk (or colostrum) which is so necessary on account of its ac- tions on the digestive tract. When the calf has received sufficient colo- it should be removed from its mother into a separate stall, or it may be put into a stall with other calves of "tive Same age or nearly so. If, by any chance, the cow's udder is inflamed, the calf may be left for a few days, because of the beneficial effect that the calf's punching has upon it. For a few days the calf should be fed whole milk, but when it is two to four weeks old a change should be made, skimmilk gradually replacing tthe whole milk, from ight to tern days taken for the change. When the whole milk is totally replaced the milk may be increased to eighteen or twenty pounds per day for a calf six weeks old. The best kind of skimmilk for calves is warm, just when it leaves the farm separator. However, everybody may not have a separator, and then this is not pos- sible. In any event the system start- ed with the calf should be followed as nearly as possible at al] times, because radical changes in diet are sure to cause severe digestive trou- bles. Pails and all feeding utensils should be kept very clean to elim- inate any danger of disease from bacteria that might be lurking with- in. Skimmilk feeding may be contin- ued on as long as it is thought ad- visable, up to eight or ten months old. Good thrifty ecalves may be weaned as early as three months old, providing good substitutes for the milk are used. The most frequent trouble in rais- ing calves is indigestion 'or common scours. This trouble is usually caus- ed by overfeeding, feeding milk too# cold, feeding milk heavily laden with the disease germs, or by keeping the calves in a dark, dirty, poorly ven- tilated quarter. The calves should be watched carefully, and if they show signs. of scours immediate steps should be taken to effect a cure." The ration should be reduced and a littie lime water put into the milk. If' immediate action is neéeied, about | one-half cupful of sirong black tea or some castor oil should be given. = As for meal for the calves, rolled oats are good, and if they are getting no whole milk a little linseed oil cake should be added. The oil cake has a laxative property as well. as supplying a little fat fo the ration. A good meal for calves: 100 lbs. of ground oats; 50 lbs. bran and oil cake (nutted) 25 lbs. Good clover hay is essential at all 'times, giving enough to allow the calves to pick out the nice succulent parts, and still not be wasteful.-- J, C. McBeath, O. A. College, Guelph. Should Calves Go Out to Grass o1 Remain in the Stable? Generally speaking, calves are bet- ter kept in the stable during the first summer, except where stable conditions are not good, and where there is not enough labor to look af- ter -them and keep them. dry and clean. The only other exception ig case' of calves dropped in the early winter and which have had three to six months of milk and more or less dry feed. Such calves may be all right, if turned out to grass the weather warm and pleasant. Par- ticularly is this the case where milk and other feed ig Scarce on the farm. The chief advantages of keeping calves in the stable, the first summer are: J 1. They can be fed milk and other feed as required, which is &ften neg- lected when calves run with the cows, Or are pasturing some distance from the barn. a 2. Calves in a clean, well-ventilai.. ed stable are protected from the hot sun, storms and flies, which often brevent that good growth which is pu for a well-nourished thrifty calf. 7 i 3. If allowed to run with the herd, the older animals are likely to "boss" the calves and may injure them, or deprive them of their proper share of feed. 4. Cases of sickness, such ag indi- gestion or '""scours" are more likely to be noticed, and properly treated, if the calves are imgide where they returns to the owners of cows,-- Prof, tl H.
