Y i PAGE TWO (First Section) THE WAYNE S VILLE MOUNTAINEER FRIDAY, -Raising The Young Calf Requires Special Care Dr. A. R. Biegg Veterinarian The high rate of death loss from disease in dairy calves often brings economic disaster to the dairyman. The loss of one or more young calves, or even more so pigs, doesn't worry the farmer an awful lot at this time since he looks al to be a year old has much greater value and might possibly still be alive and well had the farmer been more careful when the animal was at a tenjer age. If a few precau tions had been followed when these animals were very young, most of them could attain an age where they would be profitable to him. The veterinarian too frequently has the disadvantage of being con sulted after the disease is well es tablished. Preventive medicine pro duces much better results than the treatment of a young animal with advanced symptoms or a disease. The following suggestions al though not all applicable to the many varied conditions found on farms in this county are mentioned so that vim farmers can get an idea and can possibly follow them as closely as your conditions will permit. Know the date at which the cow is due to freshen. With winter barn conditions approaching put he cow up in a dean. dry. well bedded stall five ila s prior to this dale. Alter the calf is dropped in this stall it is permitted to suckle its mother at will for three days It is quite essential thai the calf receive full benelit of the anti bodies, vitamins, and laxatives con tained in the first milk of the dam after freshening. On the fourth day :he calf is removed to a pen of its own which is likewise clean, dry . well ventilated, and lighted. ! This four day old calf is hand j fed on warm ( 100 degree F.i whole J mill'., one quart night and morn-j ing from a bucket. This last is one . practice not usually followed. It has two advantages; the constant ' butting of the calf may aggravate a non-noticable case of mastitis in j the cow and it will prevent the calf ! from obtaining too much milk. Too much and too rich milk is more ' harmful than helpful to a new horn calf. If the milk contains more than 3.5' i butterfat it should be diluted with water. It's always good prac tice to keep the ca'f slightly hun gry and waiting to be fed. Already at this age the calf is given free access to clean bright hay. water, and calf meal. You'll find it will sniffle around in it without takinc anv of it m at first and after a week or two ot getting accustomed to the solid food it will nibble more anil more ot it. W hen the calf is two weeks old it is placed in a pen With other calves of the same size but care is taken to see that each calf has al least 25 square feet of floor space Miss V. Roberts In Germany With The Red Cross AT AUCTION WILL BE SOLD Wednesday, SSV- AT 10:30 LOCATED ON HIGHWAY NO. 284 JONATHAN CREEK 13 i FRANKFUKT. Germany Miss j Virginia C. Roberts, daughter of !

Zeb Curtis OWNER 1 he second week the whole milk is increased to two quarts night and morning, and the third week to 2'l' quarts twice daily. The fourth week this is decreased to quails twice daily. This reduction encourages increased consumption of hay and ea!f ii'ial to the point thai milk is discontinued at the end of the fourth week. The calves arc continued on an unre stricted diet of calf meal, hay, and water until four months of age when pasture or silage is added. This procedure may sound quite drastic and yet if you'll bear in mind that over feeding of a young calf rather than underfeeding is more dangerous to its well-being you'll find that the calf will do well. And especially now when all milk is at a premium these suggestions should add to your total income. 13 GKTS A HOT-SKAT BALTIMORE, Md.
