Privacy and quietness should be the rule at this time. The cow should be allowed to lick the calf dry, and should be kept tied until the atter-birth is removed. The two may be left. together for one to three days. Some remove the Calf at once, but if It is to be reared, it should be left with the dam for a short lime, in order to give the young u.nimai n good start. Leaving cow and calf together for a day or two also tends to remove inflammation from the udder of the cow. If necessary the cow's udder should be bashed with warn] water or solve form of liniment such as camphor- ated oil, or equal parts of turpentine and vinegar and an egg in one quart of the mixture, In case the cow and calf are all right, they may be separated in not over three clays, and the cow be re- turned to her regular stall, The calf may be allowed 1.0 remain In the box - stall, if not needed for ;mother cow, or be placed in the nursery along with other calves, as this will cause tt to forgot its "Mammy" more uiek- 9 ly, It should receive its mother's, milk for a week, whole milk for two or three weeks, then skim milk and other suitable feeds for six months, and be kept dry and clean at ell times. --Prof. Tri, I3.
