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* A Proclamation. State of Georgit. Executive J Apartment.
