PROPER FEEDING
RULES FOR CALF
Feed and Management Will De
pend Greatly on Time of Year
Animal Was Dropped.
GIVE GRAIN AND ROUGHAGES
Standard Ration May Do Made by Us
ing Corn, Oats and Bran of Equal
Parts by Weight Pasture Is
Most Essential.
Tho feed, care nnd management
which the high-class beef calf should
recolvo after It Is weaned will depend
largely on the time of year It was
dropped. A spring calf should be fed
differently from one dropped In the
fall. It Is assumed that In either case
however, tho principal part of the
calf's feed for the first few months
wns Its mother's milk. In addition to
the milk, It should hnvo been fed grain
so that at wcnnlng time It would be
getting from two to six pounds, de
pending upon the age of the calf and
time of year weaned, with a little sil
age and n liberal amount of hay as
well.
If the calf has not been tnught to
eat grain before It was weaned It
should be taught nt once. Begin by
feeding It ns one does for the calf be
fore weaning. The amount of feed,
however, may be Incrensed more rap
Idly than with the unwenned calf. In
a month or six weeks after It Is weaned
It should be eating from two to threo
pounds of grain with six pounds of
silage and from two to three pounds
of clover hny, with a small amount
of other roughages like stover or straw
In addition, unless sulllclent pnsturo Is
available.
A standard grain ration for tho calf
may be mnde by using corn, oats and
bran, equnl parts by weight, or corn
five parts and oats or bran three parts
by weight, with one part of linseed meal
added to both unless the ration seems
too luxatlve. It Is expected that In
many enses all theso feeds will not
be available. It will be necessary then
to substitute other feeds. The follow
ing substitutions nre recommended:
Feed. Substitutes.
Corn Barley, kullr, mllo, oat.
or other feeds high In
carbohydrates nnd

Oats Bran, ground oats,
coarso middlings.
Bran around oatB. coarse

nut vine, soy bean or

Corn stover Oat straw, other straws
or stoverB.
I
The qunntity of grain to feed should
be determined at all times by the ap
petite of the cair. Feed what It will
clean up In a short time nnd wish It
had Just a little more. A variety of
hays should bo provided If possible.
While the beef calf can use cheap
roughages to advantage, good buys,
preferably legumes such as clover ill-

falfa, and lespedezn, are moro satis
factory. Well-cured, bright, corn stov
er or oat straw may be used to supply
a part of tho roughage needed and
keep the cnlf's appetite good and Its
digestion In proper order. Give us
much hny us It will consume, but do
not allow any waste. If the calf Is
on good pasture It will not consume
much hay. As It InCrenscs In age, It
can ho fed stingo to advantage. Avoid
overfeeding with silage, as there 1b
danger of dlgestlvo disturbances, espe
cially when getting a liberal supply of
milk. '
' Pasture should bo provided ut all
times. Next to milk It Is nnturo's bal
anced ration. Sulllclent pasture may
be obtained from such pasture plnnts
ns blue grass, Bermuda, lespedeza. carr
pet grass, clover, alfalfu and. prairie
grass. Lnto fall, winter or early spring
pnsture may also be obtained by graz
ing such crops as rye, oats, wheat, soy
beans, cowpens and velvet beans. Use
great core in pasturing legumes, such
as alfalfa and the cloTers, also winter
pasture crops. Turn the calf on such
crops for only n short .tlmo at first,
because the calf may bloat from over
eatlng on such feeds. After It becomes
used to them It mny graze with safety.
Rules of Feeding.
There are innny things to remember
In feeding the calf. They mny be
called rules of feeding and should be
carefully followed:
1. Provide a Variety of feeds at all
times, If possible. It Is easier to sup
ply the proper amounts of the desired
nutrients which the calf needs, If sev
eral different feeds nre used. The ra
tion will also be more palatable.
SI. Do not make sudden changes In the
feeds used or In the nmounts given.
If It becomes necessary to change
feeds from, say, clover to alfalfa hay.
feed part clover and part nlfalfa for
a few days. Gradually reduce the
amount of clover nnd at the same time
Increase the alfalfa.
. 3. Do not overfeed the calf. Feed
,ns much grain ns It will clenn up In
30 minutes and wish It had Just a lit
tle more. Feed left In the trough to
ho brcnthed over Is worse than wasted.
If any remnlns It should be removed
nnd less given the next time. Diges
tive disorders occur from feeding too
much rather thnu too little.
4. Do not underfeed the cnlf. It
should make a continuous gain. If It
does not grow each day the feed given
It Is about the same as wasted. It nev
er pays to starve a cnlf. In fact, the
calf does not begin to pay for feed un
til It Is given more than enough to
make some gain.
o. Do not nnnoy or disturb the cnlf
unnecessnrlly. The fnttcnlng or crow
ing cnlf should be kept as quiet ns pos
sible. It requires more feed to keep It
growing whllo standing r moving
about thnn while lying down nt rest.
0. Do not feed moldy, musty or
spoiled feeds. To d so may cause se
rious digestive disorders, All hoys
Farmers Are Urged to Conserve Then

Instead of Butchering Them.
should be bright, well cured and free
from dirt, mold und mustlness. If
ground feeds get wet they nre likely
to mold. This Is cspeclnlly true of cot
tonseed meal and ground corn. They
should not be fed If In bad condition.
7. Do not waste time In feeding tho
cnlf. To waste time In feeding or pre
paring feeds needlessly Increuses tho
cost of grains. Gralii should be fed
whole except when teaching the calf
to eat and possibly also near the end
of tho fitting or finishing period. Whole
grain ns n rule Is more palatable than
ground feeds, Ear "corn - may bo
shelled, broken or chopped up. In the
feed box rather than ground. Husks
on snapped corn need not be removed
for this purpose. It rarely pays to
shred stover or to cut or chaff hay for
the calf. It need not he fed threo
times n day when twice a day will do
as well, although the former may be
practiced when fitting the nnlmal for
show or sale. Do not go to the ex
pense of buying prepnred "stock feeds"
or, "remedies." Home-mixed feeds are
cheaper and equnlly, If not more, satis
factory. A healthy calf does not need
condition powders.
