Barnes calves. This is partly due to the fact that he 

 was older and was not fed milk to keep him stronger and 

 better able to resist the micro-parasites. He was fed 

 shorts, wheat bran and corn meal, and maintained a 

 growing appetite and made good gains in weight during 

 the entire 35 days he was in Auburn. When shipped to 

 his owner, Mr. W. G. Little, Livingston, Ala., he could 

 not be forced into the small crate in which he came to 

 Auburn from Missouri. This animal has now passed 

 two summers in Alabama, and has never exhibited any 

 signs of Texas fever.
