The Proper Care
of Young Calves.
Success in dairy farming de-1
pends to a great extent, upon the ,
careful rearing of the calves. ;
Carelessness in breeding and calf;
raising is bound to result dis
astrously to a herd, or at least
keep it at a standstill, as far as i
improvement is concerned. With
out raising calves from which to
replace discarded animals it is
almost impossible to raise the
average production of the herd.
Purchasing cows for this pur
pose is a very unsatisfactory
method.’ Cows placed on the
market are almost certain to be
of very ordinary grade, since a
good cow whose value as a milk
producer is known is not offered
for sale at market price. There
fore, the dairy farmer should
take every precaution in handling
the young calves which are to
be placed in the herd.
Even though a young calf es
tablishes respiration and gets its
first meal without difficulty, it is
still subject to many ills, chief of
which are digestive disorders o£
some kind. These troubles are
likely to be more numerous among
c.iives that are weaned while
young and fed from pails. Indi
g. -.tion, or scours, as it is gon
er;.lly known, is the most com
mon trouble in raising calves hv
hand. The chief causes of this
trouble are: Overfeeding, feed
ing cold milk, old or sour milk,
and the use of dirty pails, t roughs
or stalls. By keeping the con-J
ditions right all the time these
troubles might be avoided. Each
calf should be watched closely,
for signs of indigestion. Foul i
smelling dung is often the first j
sign of the trouble. When such 1
indications are present the ration j
should be cut down to one half!
the usual amount. When a se
vere case of scours is noticed, the!
feed should be reduced and the;
calf should be given two or three
ounces of castor oil in one pint of
milk. For a few days following
this, treatment it is well to add
one teaspoonful per pint of milk
fed of- a mixture of one half
ounce of formaline in lf> 1-2
ounces of water.
White scours, or calf cholera, ;
is quite common with calves. 1
This is a violent and deadly form
of diarrhea. It may appear im
mediately after birth and is like
ly to show itself within the first
or second day. The calf is very
sick from the beginning; the;
eyes are sunken, the belly retrac-!
ted, the breathing is short and I
rapid, the temperature very low I
and the calf soon becomes an-'
conscious. The discharge from
the bowels is rather profuse, of a
white color and very offensive
odor. As a rule the calf dies
within twenty-four to thirty-six
hours. This is a contagious di
sease, which gait s access to the!
calf's body through the naval
soon after birth. An animal once
affected rarely recovers. There
seems to be no treatment, there
fore we must rely upon preven
tion. The trouble may be avoid- j
e l by making sure that the calf
h dropped in a clean stall and
that it is not allowed to come in
contact with djrt or manure until
the cord is dry. If the herd is
on pas.ure, it is best to allow the
cow to remain there until the
calf is horn. In lection is not
likely to occur in the pasture. If
the calf is dropped in the barn
the surroundings should be free
from filth.
Occasionally young calves suf
fer from constipation, notwith-*
standing the purgative effects of |
the colostrum or first milk. This
may be due to unthrifty cows or
the feeding of dry wuiutiitiou*
