Various roughages, a!! of which were grown on the farm, were fed. The corn fodder, usually shredded, was fed in the early winter together with clover hay. and later In the spring oat straw was given instead of the corn fodder. The following summer the calves were given a good blue-grass pasture and in addition a liberal grain ration. The ration was not changed In corapo utiou from that previously fed. When the grass was In the flush of growth the grain ration was somewhat de creased During the entire grass sea son personal attention was given to 'he feeding so that the calves would not be overfed.

Many dairymen make a practice of raising every heifer calf and fail to get result* Then they select the heiier calves from the best producing cows and get nearer to what they want, but still, there are many inferior cows raised by them It is not until we begin to carefully examine every heifer calf that we can conduct any systematic plan of im proving the quality of the dairy herds, for. unless the calves are good indi ••'duals and have stamina and strong, vigorous constitutions no matter how liberally they are fed. some will fail to come up to the qualities of their dtmi Every heifer calf should be care fully examined and if they show signs of weakness they should not be raised. < »pen their mouths, and if you And. after examining their teeth, that you cart see but four of the milk teeth, you can make up your mind that such a calf is hardly worth raising. Many raise their caives, but few turn out to be profitable cows. Next ex amine the navel and teats. If the •eats are not placed in their right position do not waste your time and too.* trying to make a good cow cut of such a calf. . When we find a heifer calf that comes up to our standard or require ment* and whet, we decide to keep it we must not ?orget tha* its value as a cow depends lar/elv upon the treat ment that it receives during the first two years of its ’ife. i alvea must be well cared for and fed in such a manner that they will never iose their calf flesh. After they are a few months old they should be turned out and allowed plenty of exercise and gooa air so that they mat tmild up 3trcng muscles and good strong organs of respiration. •ells lor Terser* at Large.
