They should Before Stropping After Stropping feeding hay.' A nice lock of well -cured hay, clover or timothy, is one of the best things for a calf. Not only does it tend to make the calf grow',, but it has a good effect in preventing bowel troubles. The juice from the hay is a I good tonic. To go with the hay, we need some grain. Especially if timothy hay is fed there should be some kind of a laxa- tive grain given. I like wheat bran or mixed feed as well as anything I ever Whichblade i ® s? tried. The bran makes muscle and at ki+ fl the sante time keeps the 'bowels reg- ular. It is not time wasted to brush off the calf regularly every day. It always seethed to me a well-groomed calf would grow faster than, one that was rough and dust -covered all the time. It might not be thought that a calf's hide " would get very much clogged with dust and seeds, but if you have not groomed your calf for a week er two, just part the hair and look close- Iy, and you will see that the pores of the skin are badly clogged, and when that happens the calf Cannot grow as fast nor .ase,imiilate its food as it other- wise would. A clean skin saves feed, for the calf uses to better advantage what is given it. All the time we try ito remember that We are dealing with a cow of to -morrow.
