Giving a calf an extra good start the first six months of its life and do- ing so cheaply, is the secret of success- ful and economical stock raising. No matter how good the calf at birth, it will be handled at a Toss, or more or less seriously handicapped for future usefulness and profit if not fed .carefully and cheaply in its early days. The present high prices of whole rniik practically exclude this product being used• to any extent in calf rear- ig, although it is absolutely necessary for the first three . or four weeks. if hest resul- are to be obtained.. To idiscover the best substitutes for whole milk az d,the. best methods and pract- ices in calf, feedingea litre number of experiments have clueing the past 3 years been conducted oe the Dominion Experimental'Faran s, The detailed results of this work will be published n the near future. However, a few -deductions fi'oiu these experiments are given herewith. 1. It is more profitable to breed and rear good young stock to maturity 'than to purchase the average cows for aisle, which .are usually the animals least profitable and desirable in the neighbor's herd. 2. The cheapest way of gbuilding up a good herd is to raise it. The feed ' costs of good rearing in Canada range from $16 to $24.30 for six ,months' chives, $24 to $45 for twelve months' calves and $37 to $74, for 24 moiths' heifers, the variatons depending on istetods of feeding, feeds available and market values of these feeds. 3. Calves of poor type and breed- ing are not worth rearing, but good calves properly bred will be worth at least thirty per sent. and up to one hundred per cents more than their feed cost at two years of age. 4. Calves of good size, strong con- stitution and large capacity,, will, on the same feed, make greater growth 'dad better gaiins than small, weak, rear - ably all heap farm grown roughages and convert these into milk. 6. tThecalf reared on its dam costs 25 to 50 per cent. More than the pail fed calf, and the more productive the cow the greater wird be the charges agt4inst the calf. s '7. - Pail -fed calves reared to' six to eight month: =largely on whole milk make galika Y4ildigal cost $14 to $13.75 per cwt,, aiIdclt is several times the coat whoa ,,properly fed substitute for whale hank is used. 8. 'Skim -milk -fed sweet and at a temperature of about 90 degrees Fatal is the lit aingli'Atabstittite for whole milk, taidantaydreath a value of 70 cents per - carte ca..' more in, feeding Young, chives. However!, skim.milk may .be 'improved by the addition of a good cream substitute such as flax- seed. jelly, oatmeal or a well-balanced calf meal. 9. Buttermilk if fed uniformly as to acidity and temperature, gray -have a slightly greater value than skim - milk. Great caution must, however, be taken to start calves at a -greater age and very gradually. 10. In feeding calves to six to eight months of age on rations _ composed largely of skim- milk or buttermilk and a good creain. substitute gains niay be made at a cost of feed amount- ing to from $2.00 to $7.15 per cwt., this amount varying with the charac- ter and price of meal and the rugged- ness and thrift of the calves. 11. If well started on mother's milk, calves may be well reared . on calf meals without whole or skin -,milk. However, greater care and attention must be paid to these calves, and even so, gains cost front $5 to $15.41 per cwt., or nearly double 'the cost where some skim -milk is used. 12. Teem are many excelleet calf -meals on the market in Canada. The Canadian manufactured meals are as good as and generally decidedly su- perior'to imported meals, due not only to the palatability of the . ingredients and the chemical .balance, but even more to ' freshness and freedom. from mustiness: Of the (lariadian made calf meals used the three which in total gains ;.have .given excellent satisfaction are Royal PUTplee, Gold Dollar and Cald- well's . ,Providing the necessary 'ingredients areavailable, it may often be more economical for the feeder to mix his own calf meals. If properly done, they resulting gains in weight of the calves may be nearly as great, and often at a much reduced cost. 13. •Irl carder to rear the best and cheapest cows,• all pail -fed • calves should be taught to eat, at an early age, cheap and nutritious farm -grown roughagesand grain s. The best roughages are grass, fine alfalfa . or clover hay,' swede turnip, mangels and ensilage. Of the grains, oats and bee - ley are unexcelled, ` To Have Better Calves 1. -Give suitable feeds and avoid overfeeding. 2. -Feed regiilarly and carefully. 3. -Keep calf pens clean and freshly bedded. 4. -Avoid in every possible way all such infectious diseases as scours, tub- erculosis, black leg and abortion. 5. -Destroy parasites such a worms, ringworm. and lice. :Not vegan agents..•.uI d"the' world buying up -ships wherever ,they were did be had, hells enabling the Nome tali ShiPsittaers td- re ,p 'h ar ' 'high freights w#diet 1t+.ii reriPed:t t 3 t.i e . at Grsaduray, l hoW' ► ,,ae thit' Bailee Kingdom tightened her •blockade an Geri+ ' y,iatd:' adbat air ure R ,ssible torptevet tf tt sup- pliesepabsiitg ;tom a trsi :dei* tries to the' :Central Volteria:g��► alvei row individuals. 5.
